Rising musical theater composer and 2023 Jonathan Larson Award winner Jaime Lozano comes to American Music Theatre Project to continue development of this new state-fair concert musical about stories of disappeared women from the borderlands.
Told through the lens of Mexican folklore and music, writers Jaime Lozano, Florencia Cuenca, and Georgina Escobar explore the strategic erasure of female voices in the fight to end gender-based violence and the disappearance of women and girls.
From the missing, to the socially invisible, to the forgotten, Desaparecidas takes place in a classic and timeless Mexican state fair (a Palenque) where the audience will experience a special appearance by some stories of the missing.
THREE PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
Saturday, October 19 at 7:30pm
All performances will take place at Wirtz Center Chicago (710 N Lake Shore Drive)
AMTP and Desaparecidas are proud to be a part of DESTINOS, the Chicago International Latino Theater Festival.
