Disappear One, Graeme Thomson & Silvia Maglioni, 2015 (film still)
In a small Lisbon theatre an organization calling itself 'The Nature Theatre of Oklahoma' which claims it can employ everybody recruits actors on the eve of a transatlantic voyage. But the reasons for this journey remain a mystery. What is the relation between the Oklahoma Theatre and the ship, with its regime of control, work and forced entertainment? And what are the signals that start to emerge from bodily gestures, voices, dreams, radio frequencies, charts, waves, hallucinations, trying to tell us?
In the wake of Félix Guattari's Project for a Film by Kafka and in homage to Kafka's Amerika, DISAPPEAR ONE works a series of variations around the unfinished novel in the context of an imminent shipwreck, shifting the trajectory of Karl's journey towards Brazil and tracing its lines of disappearance in the depths of the South Atlantic.

The UEINZZ Theatre Company
Overflowing the walls of the psychiatric institution where they were founded (in São Paulo, in 1996) the Ueinzz Theatre Company meet on a weekly basis, in what you could call a schizoscenic project – an ongoing theatrical rehearsal as a way of caring. We think of it as a kind of sociality: not a fixed place or a community, but a set of ever-changing relationships between users of mental health services, therapists, actors, so-called psychotic patients, carers, philosophers, and people whose life hangs by a thread. Informed by radical ideas of care they practice this sociality, trying it out, reinventing it - the flows and worldviews produced in supposed ‘illnesses’ amplified into a theatre capable of reversing power over life into the potential of life. They reveal the disturbing ‘normality’ that surrounds us every day.
