Che in Evita

[Leitgeb]

Hallo!

Che im Musical Evita wird oft als Che Guevara dargestellt.
Gibt es irgendwelche Analysen, die das erklären? Ist diese Verbindung durch Tim Rice oder sonstwen nahegelegt?

Grüße!

Der englische Wikipedia-Artikel zu Evita ist ganz interessant dazu:

Rice created a character, Che, to serve as a narrator and Greek chorus. Although he'd recently discovered Che Guevara was Argentine, it was not his original intention that the character be based upon him, however when Harold Prince later became involved with the project, he insisted that the actors portraying Che use Guevara as a role model.[4]

Ah, interessant.
Danke.
Dass Guevara aus Argentinien stammt wusste ich tatsächlich nicht
