Fuerza Bruta!

Fuerza Bruta translated = ‘Brute Force’.  (Probably) the best live show I’ve ever seen!  ~Cirque Du Soleil meets Blue Man Group.  Intense music, performance art and acrobatics.  Most of the show happens in / on top of the crowd.  You can’t help but be a part it.

 

To all my friends in NYC, you have probably already heard about this.  But, if you don’t know, now you know.  Trust me and click here.  

 

Here’s a video of one of the opening pieces in Fuerza Bruta.  You can hear the crowd gasping, because the stage was pushing its way through the middle of the crowd.  At the end of the vid, you can hear: "This would never happen in the US!"  Probably not.  But, in Fuerza Bruta, the crowd is part of the show.

I call this the ‘Floating Female Frog Pool’.  This water tank was hanging high above the crowd but, slowly floats down until everyone can touch it.  No words.

 

I'll be posting a ton of pics to my Facebook, but here are a couple of my faves:
