John Malkovich Sets One-Night Buenos Aires Performance of El Infame Ramírez Hoffman on March 27

The staging adapts Roberto Bolaño’s Pinochet‑era texts into a 90‑minute music‑theater meditation that questions whether art can stand above ethics.

Overview

  • The single performance is scheduled for Friday, March 27 at 20:30 at Teatro Ópera ON in Buenos Aires.
  • Tickets are sold through Ticketek with prices starting at ARS 45,000, and an exclusive Santander presale offers up to six interest‑free installments.
  • Malkovich appears as narrator and protagonist for 90 minutes alongside pianist Anastasya Terenkova, violinist Andrej Bielow and bandoneonist Fabrizio Colombo.
  • The live score integrates works by Astor Piazzolla, Antonio Vivaldi, Erik Satie and Alberto Iglesias to drive the narrative.
  • Drawn from Roberto Bolaño’s portrayal of the pilot‑poet Ramírez Hoffman under Chile’s dictatorship, the piece employs dark parody and arrives as part of an acclaimed U.S. and European tour.
