What to Do in Buenos Aires in March

Buenos Aires’ theater scene has a must-see event with the arrival of John Malkovich, who will present “The Infamous Ramírez Hoffman” — a unique performance that blends storytelling, acting, and live music into a different kind of theatrical experience. The show takes place on Friday, March 27 at 8:30 pm at Teatro Ópera ON, for one night only. The iconic artist will bring to life a narrative inspired by texts from Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño, accompanied by a top-tier musical trio performing works by Astor Piazzolla, Antonio Vivaldi, Erik Satie and more, heightening the dramatic tension.

This approximately 90-minute production — based on a dark parody about art, ethics, and historical memory — has already received standing ovations in cities around the world and arrives in Buenos Aires as part of its international tour.

Tip: Tickets are available through Ticketek Argentina, with several purchase options, including interest-free installments with Banco Santander.
