Description
Summary:Throughout the History of Art, we find a clear difference between the two female stereotypes represented: the femme fatale, heir to Lilith, and the virginal madonna, who finds her biblical namesake in Eva. Audiovisual culture has appropriated this iconography, perpetuating the archetypes throughout the centuries. At the end of the seventies, twenty years after the death of Eva Perón, the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, together with the lyricist Tim Rice, explores the tumultuous existence of a woman who went from being a femme fatale to being canonized by part of the Argentine population. Our proposal aims to highlight the nineteenth-century origin of the feminine archetypes that will be maintained throughout the work of this composer.
