MEET ME IN BUENOS AIRES Comes to Edinburgh This Month
Performances run 31 July – 11 August.
A musical storytelling journey that spans four continents kickstarted by receiving a box of cassette tapes of songs she recorded as a teenager, Florencia Iriondo’s one woman show looks at how love morphs through family, place and time and explores how to be a modern woman in a relationship without letting it define her. Based on her experiences from her birthplace in Buenos Aires Argentina as well as her time in New Zealand, Dublin and New York, the show blends original songs with Tango, Irish folk and a song played entirely with toy instruments, with anecdotes and stories of life changing moments.
Florencia said, “With 'Meet Me in Buenos Aires,' I’m aiming to create a joyful and intimate evening that captures the essence of hanging out with friends and family in Argentina. I strive to welcome people to Underbelly with music, stories, and open arms, just as I would welcome you into my own home.”
Florencia Iriondo is a writer, performer and show runner currently based in New York. Born and raised in Argentina, she has lived in New Zealand and Ireland. She was the founding showrunner and executive producer of LinkedIn’s original video and audio studios creating content with global names including Oprah Winfrey which secured millions of views. In 2022, she quit to focus on her writing and performing and in 2023, her musical SOUTH won the 2023 Pipeline Arts Foundation Award for New Musical Theatre and was sold during its Soho Playhouse run. This is her first show at the Fringe.
