Fuerza Bruta: Wayra is the best spectacle/experience in town — maybe in the world. You stand for eighty minutes, and the show takes place over you. Figures fly, gymnastics, romance, swimming, music by Gaby Kerpel, all directed by Diqui James. The music has the rhythmic beat I have heard all over world in all societies and countries, from African tribes to Australian Aborigines, to Scotland — dum dada dum dum, dada dada dum dum; dum dada dum dum, dada dada dum. Our bodies move to its rhythm as the breathtaking action goes on over us.
Fuerza Bruta is also a light show and an undersea exploration, with an otherworldly set that expands, solidifies, turns liquid, leaving us entranced.
Here’s a suggestion for when you go (and you really will be missing something if you don’t): they give you two free drinks with your ticket. Don’t have them both before the show. One before and one after would do it. Or both after. If you’re old, like me, move to the back wall where there are vertical metal poles to cling to to maintain balance.
