Fuerza Bruta

Last night, I saw Fuerza Bruta.  It is very hard to describe, but it's like a theatrical take on a rave. Kind of.  It's an ultra-sensory experience. The audience stands during the show and are given stage directions to move to different parts of the room.  There really is just too much to explain.  There is a man running on a treadmill; there is dancing; there is confetti; there is a horizontal chase scene along the walls; there is mist and wind and loud gunshots.   But the coolest part about the whole show was when a makeshift, see-through pool came down from the ceiling and the actors would slide through the water like they were getting washed back and forth.  BUT THEN the pool came even lower!  So low you could actually touch it and were encouraged to (gently).  BUT THEN the actors started to throw their entire bodies onto the plexiglass (I'm guessing), running and diving inches above your head! 

Lastly, at the very end of the show, they pretty much encourage you to have a dance party.  And then they make it rain.  They clear you out of the area first but once it starts you can dance in the rain.  And despite it being freezing outside I, of course, participated.  I didn't start regretting that decision until about 10 blocks later with 10 more to go.  But it was worth it.

I added a video of my favorite part of the show, but you can search Fuerza Bruta on youtube and get more videos of the show in its entirety.
