Around 4pm yesterday I got an email from Marci saying we've got free tickets and we're going to Fuerzabruta at 8pm. Free? Fine by me. I'd been curious about seeing it, but never really seemed motivated to buy tickets on my own. I remember seeing De La Guarda about ten years ago, back when New York was still completely foreign and scary to me, and being if not exactly majorly impressed, at least pleasingly confused.
I'm older and more jaded, and there's absolutely nothing thrilling about a theater in Union Sq., but Fuerzabruta accomplished the same thing. A solid half of the show reminding me of nothing so much as a Brazilian bar mitzvah party with techno, fog machines, confetti, and a fire hose. We were surrounded by backpacks and trilling R's, clueing us into the fact that we were in the midst of vacationing Euros, who must've thought they mistakenly stumbled into Little Ibiza. One guy who seemed to be enjoying himself was Orlando Bloom, who was standing directly across from us and throwing his hands in the air like he realy just didn't care (of course I didn't recognize him - I though surely he's have long blond hair and pointed ears). The other half of the show involved watching half-naked mermaid wanna-bes cavorting on an overhead Slip'n'Slide, which honestly couldn't possibly be disappointing. And maybe it isn't exactly great theater, but it was a great spectacle, seeing the different forms they created with shallow pools of water. |

oh i just LOVE theater/performance art/a community experience!
I have heard about this show recently.
Thanks for sharing.
Lucky you seeing Orlando Bloom, any other gossip you have? Was he with anyone- or anyone else who was famous?
THX
I don't trust any Nazi-friendly countries to create something with the word 'fuerza' in it. | |
