Dante Gebel achieved the unthinkable: a hug between Mario Pergolini and Marcelo Tinelli

Mario Pergolini  recounted with humor what he experienced the previous night at the theater, which ended up becoming a true runway of Argentine showbiz figures. The host attended the event "Presidante Tour," by Dante Gebel  at the Gran Rex theater and had an unexpected encounter with Marcelo Tinelli.

"I went to Dante's at six-thirty. I was just going to stay for a while, I had seen it before,"  Pergolini began explaining on his show. However, the situation changed when the show completely captivated him: "No, no, I watched it for two hours and ten minutes. Very well," he acknowledged, surprised.

A theater full of celebrities with a stellar encounter

The night was not just any night. Mario shared a row with names like Axel, Rada, Manuel Wirtz, Mariano Martínez, el Tirri, Adrián Suar, Moria Casán, Petinatto, and, of course, Marcelo Tinelli. "After Wirtz, el Tirri... Tinelli," he said, listing those around him. The list seemed taken from a Martín Fierro awards gala.

The most talked-about moment came when Pergolini and Tinelli met face to face.  "I see him, I get up and greet him," he recounted. The gesture, brief but powerful, was met with a murmur of surprise in the room. "We were greeting each other in the row, one in front of the whole theater. Were there applause? Yes, of course,"  he recalled with some amusement.

The scene was so striking that the audience reacted as if witnessing a long-awaited reconciliation.  "It's really crazy that people think we're at odds. We've talked hundreds of thousands of times," Pergolini clarified. Meanwhile, he added: "I always like that, that they think we're like humans who repel each other."

Reunion or simple cordiality?

Beyond the audience's expectations, Pergolini made sure to set things straight: "I didn't reunite, we just greeted each other." However, the image remained etched in the minds of those who witnessed the greeting.  "Many people went home saying: 'I saw Mario greeting so-and-so, I saw the reconciliation,'"  he recounted, aware of the impact that simple gesture caused.

Additionally, he joked about the "casting" of the front row: "It was a lady's wet dream, that front row," his streaming partner said, and he concluded with irony about the state of some present: "El Tirri is a mess."

The night closed with an almost cinematic scene: several of the figures present went to eat at Edelweiss, as if it were an official celebrity after-party.  "I wanted to leave,"  Pergolini confessed, overwhelmed by the intensity of the event and the multiple reunions.

The rift that sells even if it doesn't exist

The episode once again exposed a common dynamic in Argentine showbiz: the fiction of confrontations that the public consumes as real. "People want unity," Pergolini reflected. "It's always nice to see it live," he added, referring to the public greetings between figures who were once presented as antagonistic.

In just a few hours, Pergolini went from a casual visit to a show to starring in one of the most talked-about moments of the Buenos Aires night.  Although he insists that "it was nothing," the public continues to read something deeper in his gestures: the possibility of closing old stories... at least in front of the audience.
