'Fuerza Bruta'...
Ever heard of Fuerza Bruta?

Fuerza Bruta or 'Brute Force' as it translates, is an Argentinean production which has been touring internationally for the last few years.
As hard as I may try, explaining the concept of the show to someone who hasn't seen it is practically impossible. As soon as you mention phrases like 'over-head swimming pool' and 'man on a giant treadmill who runs through walls' people start thinking you're
recalling a crazy dream. This was the second time I have seen the show, first in New York and this time in London Town! The Roundhouse in Camden is a versatile arena and provided the perfect atmosphere to compliment the show.
The performers were consistently dressed in simple, yet thoughtful attire. In my opinion the costumes were bold enough to give the actors a modern edge whilst remaining subtle, as to not steal attention from performance itself.
Considering the nature of the show, the cast is relatively small. It consists of approximately 12 incredibly athletic actors/musicians/dancers and around 8 multi-skilled back-stage staff.
The only words that do the production any sort of justice are unforgettable, raw, creative, unique and exhausting. Still confused/intregued? My point is proven - a must see experience!
