And for our next act… the Magical Military Junta… will make 30,000 people disappear before your very eyes.
The Coup Coup Club is a political musical cabaret set in the heart of Argentina’s Dirty War. Spectacular, arresting and totally unique, it follows one mother’s extraordinary quest to take on the authorities and find her ‘disappeared’ daughter.
This immersive theatrical experience, featuring original live music, magic and movement, pulls back the curtain on a secretive state, and shines the spotlight on a powerful act of resistance.
After successful runs at the Southwark Playhouse (2015) and Arcola Theatre (2017) as These Trees Are Made of Blood, The Coup Coup Club premiered at SlungLow in February 2023.
The Original London Cast Recording of These Trees Are Made of Blood on Spotify and production photography of The Coup Coup Club can be found below.
