As Peronists return to power in Argentina, a satirical play called ‘Happyland’ looks at the life of Isabel Perón, who was the first president of the country
BUENOS AIRES - Gonzalo Demaría is fascinated by the “ghosts” of Argentina’s past, in particular the roots of Peronism, the most influential political movement dating back to Juan Peron and his wife Eva Peron that is now set for a return to power.
The country is now set for the return of the Peronists, who won elections last month and will come back into the Casa Rosada presidential palace in December. On the ticket as vice president is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, a modern day embodiment of Peronism often compared to Evita. “I am happy that the work stirs things up and consequently makes us think. That is a shadow of our history that we should not reject or feel ashamed of,” Demaría told Reuters, describing the work as a “ghost story and political satire.”
