Doña Perón: The Story of Evita

–

Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre

Power, passion and the making of an icon

From the creator of Queensland Ballet’s sellout Coco Chanel: the Life of a Fashion Icon and the acclaimed world premiere of Elegantly Wasted, choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa returns with a powerful portrait of one of history’s most fascinating women. Doña Perón: the Story of Evita traces the meteoric rise of Argentina’s Eva Perón, blending passionate movement, striking theatricality and Latin flair in this powerful one act ballet. Glamorous, provocative and deeply human, this cinematic ballet explores ambition, devotion and the price of power. 

Experience a story of love, politics and legacy brought vividly to life by one of ballet’s most celebrated contemporary storytellers.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
