Wrapped in a landscape of smoking ruins and calcined structures, Katy Perry emerged in the shadows in the Mexico City Arena to present, for the third time, its show as part of The Lifeses Touron Saturday night.
The interpreter seemed to torn directly from a futuristic battle: her figure, imposing under bursts of strobe, showed a right arm replaced by a bright metal prosthesis, which shone with each movement.
That Mechanical arm It was also transformed from being a replacement tool, it was a show weapon, shooting fireworks that crossed the air as incandescent meteorites, causing an electrifying ovation among the thousands of fans who watched it without blinking.
He concertwhich began last Wednesday and had consecutive functions Friday and Saturday, deployed a narrative composed of intertwined chapters: mutated scenarios, circus acts suspended in zero gravity and overflowing futurism, all merged with the unmistakable charism of Katy Perry, who seemed to eat his own live epic video game.
Unlike the first night, where two fans disguised as astronauts took the stage to take a selfie, in this third presentation the lucky one was a follower dressed in a vibrant tribute to Perry’s aesthetics: a multicolored tutu, a bright pink top and an ornament in the head in the shape of a ice cream cone.
The singer, with sugar cotton boots that got rid of sweet clouds under the lights of the stage, started a piece of her own edible footwear and offered it to her guest, causing laughter and applause.
“What’s your name?” Katy asked with a warm smile. “Fernanda,” the young woman replied, struggling to control the nerves. He confessed that he was studying English, to which Perry responded by hugging her effusively and thanking him for his presence: “Thank you for coming to my show (thank you for coming to my presentation).”
The atmosphere was further on euphoria when, as in the first date, the crowd chanted: “You are already Mexican, you are already Mexican, Katy sister, you are already Mexican!”, To which the singer reacted releasing a few steps of perreo and laughing: “I am aunt Katy.”
The evening passed between blocks that challenged the imagination. An artificial intelligence version of Katy Perry talked with a robot projected on the 30 monumental screens that were part of the stage, immersing the public in an odyssey of lights, digital sounds and epic fighting.
The singer’s avatar faced villains from another world, furrowed virtual oceans and traveled through distant galaxies, until he landed on a infinite floating platform, a reflection of the design of the scenario itself.
The experience charged an interactive nuance when, as in a mission inside a video game, QR codes appeared floating on the screens, inviting attendees to vote for the next theme that would sound at the concert, using their cell phones as if they were console controls.
Between aerial acrobatics, flights on the public and hypnotic choreographies, Katy Perry dominated the stage: he turned Mexico City at one more level within his fantastic universe. The singer will continue her tour this Monday and Wednesday at the Monterrey Arena, where she will take her futuristic epic to new latitudes.
