Firefly Theatre's introspective Operation EVAsion follows not the life, but the post-death story of Eva Perón.
Operation EVAsion is based on the bizarre but factual account of the multiple disappearances of the corpse of Eva Perón. Upon her untimely death at age 33, her body was embalmed to the point of immortalization. Additionally, there were several duplicates made of her corpse, and in the ensuing Argentinean political turmoil, they all disappeared. Their journey lasted for 24 years and involved espionage, kidnapping, murder and astrology. Created and performed by Firefly's Annie Dugan, Operation EVAsion is a fusion of narrative, aerial arts, multimedia and tango.
