A series of eight portraits presented by Hugh O'Shaughnessy 1: Nacha Guevara
'When they put a bomb in the theatre, I knew they were serious - so I left Argentina.'
After eight years in exile, Nacha returned to Buenos Aires, made a triumphant appearance in the musical Eva, and became a star. She talks of her career as an actress and singer, the close and often dangerous connection between art and politics in Buenos Aires, and her latest venture - directing and acting in Cabaret.
Friends and critics comment on her talent - 'she can be a witch, a lady, an urchin, a clown - anything she chooses'; and her character - 'anyone who can be a vegetarian in Argentina must be a rebel.'
