Fuerza Bruta

Fuerza Bruta When the video for Fuerza Bruta first started I had no idea what was going on. Well, even at the end of the video I still had no idea what was going on, but i enjoyed it! I loved the idea of the conveyor belt. It meant the guy could actually run as fast as he could and the audience could see his expressions and true exhaustion. It seemed like such a simple idea but it was so effective. I loved the lighting throughout the show, it was very atmospheric, i thought the water sprays that represented rain were a great idea too, it made the audience more involved with the show as it looked as though they were part of it. As well as the created stage in the warehouse, the audience were very much a part of the show. My favourite bit was the huge water box. I thought that was such a clever idea. I personally find anything involving underwater fascinating, but i just loved how simple they made it look. Suspending a huge tray of water above an audience of hundreds of people and moving it back and forth and up and down, it was amazing. I also found it quite tranquil. The lighting used and the clothes the girls were wearing as well as the music made it all very peaceful in a way.  I liked the smaller box of water too with the one girl in it and the guy strapped to the underside of it. I got the impression that represented his dream, but thats about all i understood about the production. I quite liked the stairway to nowhere too. And how he paused at the top as though he was contemplating the safer option of going back down or taking a chance and jumping into the unknown. I liked how he flew across the audience from his harness but still made the motion of running, as though trying to find his feet in this crazy, busy world. i didnt really understand the running through the walls part of the show. Maybe it represented blockages that he had come across in life but instead of backing down he bit the bullet and just went for it, therefore knocking down these barriers he had come across. Im not sure. I think if i could change anything id make the story easier to follow. I dont know if the audience were given a brief of the show, or a programme about what they were about too see. But from watching the clip we were shown, i didnt really catch on to any klind of recognisable storyline. I really liked when the whole show turned into a kind of night club. I think after watching an intense piece like that for a while you would need to just escape from whats been going on, and get into the feeling of the show, really interact with the performers and the show itself. But apart from the confusing story. I thought the whole experience of Fuerza Bruta looked amazing and fascinating, i loved the visual effects and the audience interactions, and i would love to see a performance for myself, and i shall be keeping my eyes open for any shows they're doing in the UK.
