If you’re looking for a cultural experience in Buenos Aires that goes way beyond tango shows and steak dinners, Evita Experience is the one to book. Every Sunday at 7 pm, inside the legendary Perón Perón San Telmo restaurant, audiences are invited into an intimate, immersive journey through the life of Eva Perón, Argentina’s most influential and internationally recognised female figure of the 20th century.
This is not a traditional show. It’s a hybrid of theatre, performance, documentary storytelling, and gastronomy, with simultaneous audio translation in English and Portuguese. Perfect for travellers who want to dive into a key chapter of Argentine history while enjoying a three-course dinner of classic local dishes.
A hit cultural experience in Buenos Aires
Since opening in early 2025, Evita Experience has become one of the city’s cultural sensations, selling out every Sunday. And it makes sense: it’s staged at Perón Perón San Telmo—a restaurant-museum dedicated to political memory, aesthetic rituals and Argentine identity, located in one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in the city.
The show traces Evita’s life through its defining moments:
– her humble childhood and early ambitions,
– her rise as an actress and public figure,
– her explosive connection with the Argentine people,
– and the tragic ending that turned her into a myth.

Guided by actress Flora Ferrari, who embodies Evita with striking emotional depth, the performance blends archival footage, authentic objects, personal testimonies, and staged scenes. The result is a moving, cinematic tribute that feels both intimate and epic.
Who was Eva Perón—and why does she matter?
Eva Duarte de Perón (1919–1952)—known worldwide simply as Evita—was an actress, political leader, and Argentina’s First Lady from 1946 to 1952.
Beloved by millions, she became a global symbol of:
– women’s rights (she fought for and achieved women’s suffrage in Argentina),
– workers’ rights and social welfare,
– and a new kind of political protagonism for women in Latin America.
Her life was intense and brief, but its impact transcended borders. Evita inspired biographies, films, museum exhibitions, and even Andrew Lloyd Webber’s world-famous musical Evita. She remains one of Argentina’s strongest cultural exports and a figure still debated, adored and mythologized today.
Evita Experience gives travellers the rare chance to explore her story not as a distant legend, but as a human being—up close, emotional, and deeply relatable.
