The Weekend en Madrid: un bombardeo visual al que le falta alma
La estrella del pop reúne a 50.000 personas en la primera de sus tres citas en el Metropolitano en un concierto donde la abrumadora parafernalia se comió a la emoción
The Weeknd's concert in Madrid kicked off with a dramatic visual spectacle that seemed to hint at a decaying civilization governed by a sect, technology, and an unattainable entity, perhaps symbolized by the enormous feminine robot designed by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. The atmosphere was thick with smoke and fire, evoking a sense of urgency and prompting thoughts of the fire department's number.
The stage was set against a backdrop of a ruined city, with the iconic Cathedral of Saint Paul and the Empire State Building twisted into disarray. A group of around twenty people dressed in red tunics and hoods kept their faces concealed by golden masks. The Weeknd himself appeared on stage wearing a bulletproof vest covered in a silver crucifix hanging from his neck, and also donning a black mask.
As he approached a large golden female figure, approximately 15 meters tall, for his performance of "Baptized in Fear," the singer seemed to convey a sense of impending doom, wrapped in a sinister atmosphere.
