Moments of my life
Argentina:
I was immensely happy and there was where my professional career as seer started. I had to abandon de country in 1982, threatened to death by the totalitarian regime, because of my pacifist membership and my support to the mothers of the Mayo Square. All of this is reflected in the book "Por qué se fueron" ("Why they left") of Barón, del Carríl and Gómez (Editorial Emecé, Buenos Aires, 1995).
One year before leaving Argentina, I gave a party where I gathered a group of dear friends:

| From left to right, my mother, the daughter
of the owners of the house, the Wagners, who lent me their house because
it was bigger than mine, the singer Marikena Monti, and between two
friends the actress Graciela Dufau, as if trying to receive inspiration above
my head.

My mother, Raul Burgheroni, Marikena Monti, and me, wearing a golden robe that I found very original until one day I got to know Walter Mercado had been using it since many years before in Miami - then I took it off definitively, wearing suits instead, to my mother's great relief.

Two photos with my dear friend Graciela Dufau, to whom I had forecasted nine months before her award for Alejandro Doria's "La Isla" ("The Island") at the Montreal Festival, in Canada. All of this is told in her book "Confidencias de una bruja" ("A witch's confidences") published by Planeta (Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1995). |
In 1988 was the only time I returned to Argentina and I keep a affectionate memory of this brief twelve-day-visit. My friends and the Argentinean press were lavish in their warm welcome.

soprano Ana María González and Enrique Ricci, pianist and orchestra
conductor.
