Forceful Entertainment

I think New York Times was spot-on in describing this as "theater for people who don't really like theater." Newbies will probably find Fuerzabruta exhilarating; even if you've seen De La Guarda (the same creators), this show may not be a revelation, but it is nonetheless enjoyably uplifting. The name means "brute force" and there are indeed several takes on that idea, through running, falling or stomping performers. But there are also lovely moments of grace, particularly when the audience views playful watery 'creatures', through the see-through bottom of an enormous pool, dancing and splashing around. The fantastical segments sometimes feel like the climaxes of several different and exotic movies, and the heady beats spun by the live DJ kept us on that high even after the lights came on.
