Fuerza Bruta

This Friday we went to a show called Fuerza Bruta (Brute force). We were not really sure what to to expect, but we were told it was like Cirque du Soleil combined with a rave. When we got there we were ushered into a large dark room with no seats. The crowd was gathered towards the front of the stage. The show began and honestly it is way easy to show videos of it than describe it, and thankfully I took a ton of videos. Unfortunately, the bandwidth is terrible here so I can only put up a few videos. The first one was of a man on a treadmill. They put chairs and people on it going towards him to make it look like he is going down a city street. It was really interesting to watch.

 

The next video is supposed to represent the man running on the treadmill's dreams (I think) It was really cool and I'm not sure if you can tell by the video but the women are way up in the air going along the walls. 

 
The final video is of a pool of water they lowered just above our heads and the bottom is made of clear plastic. There were 4 or 5 women above doing different things in the water to make the ripples go in different patterns. 



Honestly the videos don't do the show justice, but just know that every member of our group absolutely loved the show, and none of us were really sure what it would be like beforehand. If you are ever in Buenos Aires, I would highly recommend seeing Fuerza Bruta.

Thanks for reading!
