Fuerza Bruta

I just went to see the show Fuerza Bruta in New York City at the Daryl Roth Theater. Fuerza Bruta is a non-stop collision of dynamic music, kinetic aerial imagery, and a rollercoaster of emotions. The show features mind-blowing visual effects that must be seen to believe. For example, a man running at full throttle through a series of moving walls or women frolicking in water suspended just inches above the audience. This is a theatrical experience that uses all of your senses. It is a 360 degree experience.

The show is about an hour long and it is general admission. The audience stands the whole time and the show is above you, so the whole time you are looking up. There are dancers all around you, music blasting, and confetti falling on your head. It is truly a thrilling experience. This show is definitely a must see!!
