TRAVESTI ODYSSEY

A raw look at the last performance of the queer radical Cabaret Travesía Travesti, which coincides with the social outburst in Chile in 2019.

Amid the uprising, Anastasia struggles to reunite the former members of a fractured cast, but Maraca, her best friend, does not want to continue with the play. Amnesia, a filmmaker and the last remaining artists in the company, embarks on a cinematic journey through footage and interviews of a group of friends who behind the glitter, feather, and beads, reveals their historical disputes and the complexities of friendship, inheritance, and collectively in this patriarchal system. Filmmaker and company member Nicolás Videla – who performs as Amnesia Letal – provides an unfiltered look at Chile’s drag scene, without shying away from the ugly underbelly of artistic falling out in a tightly knit marginalised community.
