It was during the course of the revolution of 1932 that Thailand – or Siam as it was still called at the time – first acquired a constitution. Today, the commemorative monuments are disappearing, dismantled during nighttime operations. The democracy movement that successfully toppled the absolutist monarchy is being removed from public remem brance. And activists are the victims of repression and, once kidnapped, do not resurface.

Q&A on June 24th, following the performance

In 2019, Thai director Wichaya Artamat delighted Festwochen audiences with his entrancingly delicate This Song Father Used to Sing (Three Days in May). In his new production Four Days in September (The Missing Comrade), he addresses the consequences of these disappearances. It is the story of a group of friends from which someone suddenly goes missing. And while the others ignore what has happened, ‘someone’ returns. Finely crafted dialogues imperceptibly interlock the private with the political, reflecting the anxiety of the public mood.
