Description

In a comedy tone, Isabelita´s Kidnapping (El secuestro de Isabelita) is an invitation to revisit a period of the Argentine history considered somewhat taboo and scarcely dealt with in the national theater: the 70s political activism and armed organizations. It depicts a group of youngsters who out of heroism and childlessness make up their minds to kidnap Isabel Martínez de Perón, though when they managed to do so they aren’t sure whether it’s her or Isabel Pavón, an Olivos Presidential Residence maid. Daniel Dalmaroni portrays those days atmosphere and a parody sustained out of foolishness which nevertheless tastes familiar and ordinary. The Kidnapping… depicts a generation’s ideals as well as some incongruent mistakes, relationships among the various armed organizations, the way they operated, female roles, blind revolutionary faith, political virulence, escalating violence and opposing speeches underneath a single Peronist flag. A period comes back to life together with their protagonists: Montoneros, FAR, the Armed Forces, the Peronist Youth, Cámpora, Balbín, López Rega, the Peronist right and left wings. A not-so-far-away past still impacting on the political present is revived and rethought in this Dalmaroni’s piece offered as a dark mirror of the Argentines.
