«LA VIS CÓMICA»: OTRO KARTUN DE PURA CEPA
En octubre de 2018 vi “Terrenal, Pequeño Misterio Ácrata”, obra escrita y dirigida por Mauricio Kartun, que permaneció en cartel durante largas temporadas, siempre a sala llena, y cosechó premios por doquier. Una obra icónica, diferente. Porque Kartun es eso, un dramaturgo diferente, arriesgado, iconoclasta, pícaro, trasgresor, alguien que conoce Seguir leyendo
MILEI & MENEM: TWO OF A KIND?
Day after day, Milei reminds me more and more of late president Carlos Menem. So many similarities! His sideburns, his brand new girlfriend Yuyito González, his ideas on market freedom and private investment, his emphasis on deregulation, his economic programme as a whole. However, Milei doesn’t seem to be as Seguir leyendo
GRACIAS TOTALES, PAUL!!!
Not just happiness. Bliss, sheer bliss. That’s what Paul McCartney and his awesome band gave us all in his two sold out shows at River Plate’s Monumental stadium last weekend. It’s the third time I’ve seen him in Argentina, but this one was by far the very best. Paul isn’t Seguir leyendo
MILEI: MIND YOUR TONGUE!!!
I do hope Javier Milei bears in mind that he won the elections just because millions of Argentines refused to have another Kirchnerite administration. In other words, he was “a shot in the dark” – a wild, unsubstantiated guess, the only choice for many of us, the lesser evil, so Seguir leyendo
OUR PERONIST POPE
How come Pope Francis has only recently realized that there’s poverty in his native country, Argentina? High time! He has just welcomed representatives of popular movements and union leaders at the Vatican and has harhsly criticized the current administration, thus becoming a sort of virtual leader of the opposition. Rather Seguir leyendo
LA POLÉMICA POR LA SUPUESTA VISITA DEL PAPA
Resulta sumamente curioso y llamativo que el papa Francisco recién ahora se preocupe por la pobreza en su país de origen. Tan callado estuvo durante los largos años del kirchnerismo en los que se deterioró la calidad de vida de los argentinos. Recibe sonriente y complaciente a los sindicalistas, responsables Seguir leyendo
«TE INVITO A MI VELORIO» EN EL COLISEO
«Te invito a mi velorio», es una mirada luminosa sobre un tema tabú: la muerte. Silvia Tizio, la autora, crea un personaje «Violeta», una mujer de casi 70 años, que acaba de fallecer y comparte con el público reflexiones sobre su nuevo estado y ese «no lugar» en el que Seguir leyendo
OLIVOS BARBECUE
In my opinion, President Javier Milei’s “Olivos Barbecue” was absolutely unnecessary. Even insulting, I dare say. Although [Presidential Spokesperson] Manuel Adorni insists it wasn’t a celebration, it certainly looked like one, after having successfully blocked an 8.1 percent pension increase, initially approved by both houses of Congress. “Today, 87 heroes Seguir leyendo
