I sat down last night after experiencing this show at the Recoleta Cultural Center, just blocks away from my house. As I thought about the event I just saw, millions of thoughts raced through my head, but I truly could not spit them out on paper. This show is the epitome of indescribable.
A couple of weeks ago, a few of my co-workers recommended this show called "Fuerza Bruta," all claiming that they have gone multiple times and it is unreal. I thought their lack of description was due to the language barrier, but now I know that there are truly no words for this amazing event.
After doing some research about the show, I found that little is said. It was all started by Argentine Diqui James (who also founded a similar show, De La Guarda), with Pichon Baldinu and it has now been carried out for more than 7 years.
James was born and raised in Argentina as an actor, director and creator of three successful companies, but he was constantly searching for the return of theatre in its most primitive origin: "that it is universal for all."
Each show is staged around the standing audience and put into action using the large and diverse scenic and mechanical devices.
Here are a few bloggers' reviews I found, for lack of better words on my own:
"You really can't describe Fuerzabruta, you have to experience it for yourself. And oh man, what an experience it is."
"This isn't experiencing theatre.
It's a theatrical experience."
"The long and the short: A mass of people, standing in a dark room, while incredible combination of acrobatics, aerialists, swimming, dancing, music, group interaction, lights and sound SURROUND you."
"A truly communal and tribal evening. Leave your expectations at the door and go in ready to embrace FEELING and SEEING things you never could have imagined. It's dreamlike. It's transportive."
Still not convinced? Check out the video of MY experience below:
