President Javier Milei made an unexpected appearance on the Mar del Plata theater stage by taking to the Roxy Theater stage and closing the 'Fátima Universal' show with a live musical performance.
With a microphone in hand, the head of state sang 'El Rock del Gato,' a classic by the band Los Ratones Paranoicos, in a packed house that celebrated the moment with applause and raised cellphones.
The head of state's appearance came at the end of the show headlined by Fátima Florez, who invited him on stage in a scene that broke the show's usual format and had a strong impact on the audience.
Milei, who arrived at the theater after 8:50 p.m. as part of a discreet security operation, took a seat in the stalls alongside his sister, Presidential General Secretary Karina Milei, and Minister of Human Capital Sandra Pettovello.
Florez received him on the sidewalk in character as one of her personas, causing a stir among those waiting to enter the hall. According to the performer, the choice of song was due to the president's personal preference, and Milei, known for his relaxed demeanor and the public's enthusiasm, showcased his artistic side, which had been hinted at on other occasions.
As it turned out, the musical number was not entirely improvised. Hours before the show, Milei had attended the dress rehearsal for a sound check, a detail that fueled speculation about a possible artistic intervention during the evening. After the rehearsal, Florez praised the president's vocal performance.
This episode became another unconventional display from the head of state, who chose the stage and music to interact directly with the audience. Thus, the performance at the Roxy Theater became a unique chapter in the Mar del Plata theater season.
