The Disappeared is a powerful and gripping performance that tells the story of a queer artist's struggle against political oppression and exile. Amidst a government upheaval in South America, the artist is banished from their homeland, torn from their freedom and identity. The performance is a combination of queer cabaret and political protest, inviting the audience into a wild, fun, and sensual experience encapsulating the final moments of free artistic expression before the performer is forced into exile.
The show is based on the true story of Nova Duh's journey from Chile to Denmark via Mexico, where the artist fights to rediscover their voice and identity. The audience is drawn into an intense and captivating evening where live music, dance, burlesque, and elements of South American protest merge into a tale of resistance.
