Both the group and the show have their historical followers who know perfectly what they will find: Fuerza Bruta offers kinetic and dizzying shows with acrobatics, live music and sets whose visual fantasy requires continuous collaboration from the viewer.
Wayra’s details

In the specific case of Wayra, the usual festive and transgressive spirit of the group is combined with a scenography designed to enhance the acrobatic performance required by the staging. Now it is not the actor’s body that generates the action, but the action is generated by the scenario.
A gigantic treadmill that divides the audience from one side to the other and on which the artists must advance to avoid falling and then cross a wall, avoiding obstacles on the path, is one of the moments of wayra.
In this show, the spectators find themselves close enough to observe the tension of the muscles, the expression of the face, the drops of sweat on the bodies.
As in another of the segments, in which several actresses immerse themselves in a surface with the water flowing down from the top up to the heads of the audience. The water moves the bodies and in this game the action takes place. Tribal drums and shouts take the audience into a dreamlike and ancient world.
History

The history of Brute Force dates back to the 1980s, when the Black Organization first and of the guard later, who changed the idea of the stage space, putting the spectators on their feet, the stage in the air and the need to tell a story disappeared.
Fuerza Bruta, in particular, was born in 2003, by the hand of Diqui James, one of the founders, and Gaby Kerpel, musical composer of the group, united for the new project.
Subsequently, with Alejandro García, technical direction, and Fábio D’Aquila as general coordinator, both former members of De La Guarda, they joined the bet to perfect that primitive scheme.

Even if from those beginnings until today the impact is no longer the same, it is also true that the possibility of immersing yourself in another rhythm and in a theatrical aesthetic very different from the traditional ones, is a breath of freshness that comes in handy.
The adrenaline, the surprise and the participatory and immersive experience offered by Fuerza Bruta go straight to shake the audience, appealing directly to the most sensory stimuli, forcing them to enter another logic and sensitivity.
The viewer knows in advance that he is participating in a rare artistic event and enjoys that experience which is never without surprises.
