This Thursday, December 8, starting at 7.30pm, the Picadero will be transformed into an authentic cabaret, from the stage to the terrace, passing through the bar and even the sidewalk of the traditional theater which will host the sixth edition of FICA (International Argentine Cabaret Festival )
For a few hours there will be very varied shows, with humor, music, plastic activities, interventions, shows and dance, where the axis is to celebrate cabaret in all its forms and turn it into a party.
At sunset, starting at 19:30, a group of conductors, Leo Bosio, Pablo Palavecino, Nico Russell, Vanina Grossi and Seku Faillace will take care of breaking the boundaries between spectators and artistsas usual in this cabaret party, to create the ideal climate.
Which artists will be there?
In this new edition will also be presented Mabel and the Unsullied, the theater and Latin music project by Maby Salerno, the overflowing kitsch diva who leads the group. With a baroque and passionate style, but at the same time full of humor and closeness to the spectators, Maby interprets pieces full of theatricality, with the complicity of four musicians.
Live music thus joins the performing arts and accompanies the public on a journey that goes from Latin cabaret to psychedelic cumbiawith themes of Gilda, La LupaLola Flores or Elis Regina, played by this actress and singer who combines her two talents on the same stage, where humor is not lacking either.
It will also be possible to see Living soula humorous concert musical show that tells the story of Almita’s love with the pianist with whom, years later, she marries and they begin another great adventure.
Celeste Campos, who is now part of the jury of sing with me nowled by Marcello Tinellishe is that canteen singer, very Argentinian, who offers songs and humor with her worst is nothing, the “dorima” and Manuel Wirzt accompanies her on the piano.

Mika from Frankfurt, an international trans artist, will also participate in the celebration with her songs that speak of desire, pain and uprooting, themes that have marked her life.
synonymous with resistance
For Noralih Gago, organizer of FICA and one of the pioneers of the genre in Argentina, cabaret is synonymous with resistance. “I defend the genre because through music, humor and active audience participation it is and always will be social criticism and political satire that awakens consciences”, he assures.
Among other activities, the public will be able to participate in a meeting to draw and paint with a live model, to the rhythm of music and with drinks, with the style that everyone wants and coordinated by Vanesa Castañón.
In addition, there will be the performance Skin of Paper, ie part of an investigation into the theme of identity and gender made by the artist Eliana Pereira Rejala. The project was born from an exhibition of puppets and objects that took place in Mar del Plata, where you worked on the deconstruction of stereotypes and on a new look.
The closing of the cabaret party will be curated by DJ V.Monkey/Verónica Torres who will set the scene for the Festival to give it a final touch, pure dance. Tickets for FICA shows are already on sale at www.plateanet.com.ar or on the Picadero website.
