Three iconic women unite their voices: Evita, Frida and De Beauvoir

Anabel Cherubito plays Simone de Beauvoir: “I have been in contact since I was little because my mother had her books in the library. When I read ´Memories of a formal young woman´ it was the kick to continue with others and I began to be fascinated with the desire for freedom that the characters had and therefore the author, that desire to be free, happy, I felt very identified. I was happy when I left home at 18, and she accompanied me. I feel that it would shock her today to see her book become a best seller and that after many years this feminist wave in the world has made her book and her figure resignify. She would be saddened to see what is missing for there to be equality and rights, and seeing that half of humanity is dying of hunger, she would feel that we have not advanced much. The three women nurture and complement each other because they are transgressive, talented and militant”.

Frida

Fabiana García Lago as Frida Kahlo: “Resilience left us, not victimizing ourselves with pain, turning serious things and tragedies into something good, always continuing to fight, not giving up. That is one of the teachings, to be faithful to what one wants, at the level of freedom, sexuality, everything. I think that tragedy that she experienced as a child changed her perspective on all things. Today she would be shocked by the data of women who continue to die despite so much struggle even before the times of these three women. You would be happy to know that despite everything the generations will continue until equality is installed and we don’t have to talk about this anymore. I think that all three are nourished by synergy, together they would have been very powerful. In the work it is very clear what would have happened if they had gotten together, we are certain that each one knew of the existence of the other, that had to do with the admiration of each one for the other”.

Ana Celentano as Eva Perón: “She has left a lot, rights and concrete changes in people’s daily lives, those that could solve problems in impoverished lives, even rights for women, with the law of universal suffrage, women’s vote, shared parental authority , which was something much discussed at the time. It was in the Constitution of ’49 and then it stayed, but before that, women went from being the property of their parents to the property of their husbands and when they separated they lost all rights over their assets and children. Beyond those who love or hate her, Evita’s character is more than that binary thing and has to do with a metaphysical facet that she embodied, ideas that led to the construction of a national movement. I think she would be happy about the women’s movement, she would be saddened by poverty, the precariousness of work and indebtedness in the face of economic power. She would finally be surprised by the impact of technology, a hyper-connectivity that instead of connecting us, disconnects us. I wonder how she would convey her message in these times.”
