“Fuerza Bruta” To Thrill Miami Theater Audience

Originally published on: http://cbs4.com/local/Fuerza.Bruta.Miami.2.1038883.html

The surreal interactive music and dance show, Fuerza Bruta, will thrill South Florida audiences with its cutting edge performance starting this weekend. Having already wowed audiences in New York, London, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, the show takes the stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on June 11th for a limited 4-week engagement.

“Fuerza Bruta”, which is Spanish for “Brute Force”, is described as a non-stop collision of dynamic music, jaw-dropping acrobatics, visceral emotion, and kinetic aerial imagery that resembles a fantastic mash-up between aerial theater and a late night-dance party. Creator Diqui James told CB4’s Lisa Petrillo about his vision of the show.

“It’s very theatrical and it’s very primitive,” said James. “Primitive in a high tech setting. It’s a big party.”

The stage will be transformed into an alternate universe and feature a running man in full throttle on a giant treadmill, bursting through a series of moving walls as if the world were rushing past him; performers suspended in mid-air surrounded by a vast sea of mylar; and gorgeous women twisting ethereally in a multidimensional lucite pool above the heads of the audience. Audiences stand for the 55 minute performance.

“It’s a stage show, where you don’t sit,” explained James. “You can be where you want to be. If you want to be close to the stage you can or if you want to walk around you can. You have freedom to enjoy the show.”

Since the show is under an hour, event planner Barton G. has created the G Bar; exclusive to Fuerza Bruta. It’s a backstage nightclub where guests can come before and after the show and indulge in daring drinks like nitrogen infused cocktails and light bites.

Show times & ticket prices performances are Tuesdays through Sundays at 7:30 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays at 10 p.m. Single ticket prices are $63.75 and $73.75 including a $3.75 facility fee.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the Adrienne Arsht Center box office at (305) 949-6722 or online at www.arshtcenter.org.

The Adrienne Arsht Center is located at 1300 Biscayne Blvd., in Miami.
