Abstract
Over seventy years ago, Eva Duarte was defeated by cancer, being mourned by her beloved Argentina and leaving behind her a myth that is still more alive than ever. Far from being forgotten, Evita returns repeatedly as a true contemporary icon. This paper has two objectives: first is to point out the importance of cinema and theatre as a way of spreading and creation of ideas and identities; in this case, of political hagiographies that transform their characters into icons of undoubted strength, sublimating their miseries and heroizing their triumphs. Secondly, we will unravel the key elements that were used to create the hagiography of Eva Perón, a manipulated image who ruled a country protected by her union with General Perón.
