Abstract

Desaparecidos was an historical larp set during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile. It set up the events occurred at Villa Grimaldi, a complex that used to be the main undercover center of detention, torture and homicide of political opponents. It’s estimated that more than 5000 Chileans were imprisoned in the building. Of them, about 300 are still listed as desaparecidos, “disappeared.” Inspired by real historical facts happened in 1975 on the outskirts of Santiago, the larp has shown illustrious international guests, arrived in Chile to negotiate with the “Junta,” being unexpectedly redirected towards Villa Grimaldi for safety reasons, after a terror attack by opponents of the regime. In the same building, ruthless international interests of Italian fixers, of a Vatican delegation and of American secret services weave together with internal power games of the government and the violence of the regime against their own citizens.
