Katy Perry offers a show in the city, but sins for excess

Among the successes in the bets on the various shots and on some moments of greater connection, Singer is missing the hand in the midst of narratives on the screen complex and various flow breaks

Puntingly at 11:15 pm on Sunday 14, the lights went to the region of the Interlagos running track, where the imposing stage of the city skyline was mounted. It was the beginning of a sort of futuristic video game that would take control of the next two hours. Not only did the Katy Perry show began, but a sensory experience that would have surprised us: when the show becomes too big for your music?

The 40 -year -old artist emerged on the stage bringing the whole pump that his career has built over the years: impeccable dancers, scenographic elements that moved as pieces of a giant puzzle and a technical apparatus which, although less complex than their Arena performances, still affected by the size.

From the heat compared to the frenzy

The show, divided into six acts, began with three last discs songs, all received with warm respect: “Artificial” (one of the seven that would come from 143) ,, “Chained to the rhythm” (Representative of Witness) AND “Tear -eyed eyes” (one of the seven of Smile). Here the first net contrast of the night was revealed, because the crack was subsequent “Dark horse”When energy has changed significantly already in the first notes.

The eternal Brazilian meme “My name is Julia!” This accompanies this song that has come to life among the thousands of voices. At this moment we have seen the true power of Katy Perry: Your ability to transform a crowd into a large wheel of friends who sing together.

The excitement reached the peak during the second part of the show. “California Girls”, “Teenage Dream”, “Hot n Cold”, “Last Friday (TGIF)” AND “I kissed a girl”which defined a generation and proved to be timeless, they were performed in sequence, after the new one “Woman’s World”.

But then another “phase exchange” came, and here the show revealed its biggest problem.

Katy Perry is missing the hand

Among the exchanges of costumes, interactive screens that flash incessantly and another part of the narrative on the big screen, the presentation of Katy Perry Lost my breath. It wasn’t just a few minutes of break; It was a break in the emotional flow that had been built so carefully. The public, who a few seconds before sang with excitement, now looked passively while the technology was trying to tell a story that may not have to be told.

Katy It was there: beautiful, charismatic as always, singing with the voice we know, dancing. But the question he echoed in the minds of those who looked was: do you really need all that armor?

The constant interactions with the screens created an effect contrary to expected. Instead of approaching, they moved away. Instead of heating, they cooled. It was as if we were watching a movie on a show of Katy Perryand not to the show itself.

The most human moment of the night came first “The one that got away” – Already at the end of the fourth act and at the time of the twentieth song of the set – when he invited a fan to go on stage, a tradition that always generates the confusion and this time it was no different. There, without special effects, only Katy And an emotional Brazilian, the show found its essence.

Do you need so many efforts?

The tour of Katy Perry He received conflicting criticisms all over the world. Now let’s understand why.

In the city, the artist undoubtedly delivered a “super show”. It was, however, a show designed for closed gyms and arenas, smaller and more intimate. In such environments, all complex visual and narrative effect makes more sense than in the open and collective space of a festival.

The feeling at the Interlavian track was to have seen something technically impressive, but with music in the background. As if Katy PerryIn the enthusiasm to give us everything, I had forgotten that sometimes “everything” can be less impact than the “essential”.

The final reflection? KatyWe love you and that’s exactly why we mean: you don’t have to work so hard.
