As part of the 33rd edition of the International Theatre Festival «Teatro a Mil,» Brazilian singer Ney Matogrosso arrives in Chile for the first time with his tour «Bloco na Rua,» which has enjoyed great success in various Brazilian cities, alongside shows in the United States, England, and Portugal.

The Latin Grammy Award winner for Musical Excellence (2014) expressed his excitement to perform in Santiago. Notably, the documentary film «Hombre con H,» released on Netflix in 2025, chronicles Matogrosso’s journey to fame, highlighting how his path was marked by the discovery of his sexual expression and performance style.

Recently, the artist had his own version of a Tiny Desk Brazil as part of the celebration of his 50-year career, where he captivated audiences with classics from Brazilian Popular Music, like «Jardins da Babilônia» (Rita Lee) and «Sangue Latino» (Secos & Molhados).

Regarding his performance in Chile, the Teatro a Mil organization announced that due to unforeseen circumstances, the event has been moved from the Central Court of the National Stadium to the Teatro Caupolicán, maintaining the same date and time originally scheduled: Tuesday, January 20, at 9:00 PM.

«Those who experience inconvenience with the venue change and wish to receive a refund for their tickets may do so by writing to [email protected],» stated the event organizers.
