Yesterday I participated in one of the most fascinating,
explosive and stunning offbeat shows I've ever seen -
I had the luck to see Fuerza Bruta, which is an interactive show that combines
dance, aerial
tricks and aquatic acrobatics – a
clublike spectacle which might
get you wet ;-) The show started with an impressive performance by a man dressed
in white - depicting 'Life as a Runway' by running on a treadmill in
the darkened theatre – six feet off the ground. Other times he was
confronted by a wall of cardboard, a blast of wind or a haze of rain.
During the spectacle we were sprayed with water or set upon by actors
smashing powdery Styrofoam blocks over our heads. :-D The booming electro music made everything even more special. The series of
images of obstacles and liberation continued when a
massive silver
curtain flapped across the space swinging closer to our outstretched
arms with each movement.
Most stunning of all was the
full-size swimming pool floating over
our heads, its transparent base allowing the diving dancers to be
seen as they create
mesmerizing effects in the water - unbound and
unrestrained. Some visitors (including me) amused themselves by
trying to grope the swimmers. ;-)
It was a sheer sensory overload
and remarkable performance! We were pushed into the middle of the
show and forced to experience it with all our senses and very wetly.
This spectacle has to be seen to be believed!
