Fuerza Bruta Bus Trip

Friday, March 27, 2009
  • 6pm to 11pm
  • Tickets are $35 and will be sold at the Student Center box Office.
Interactive dance performance all done above the audience's head. "Fuerzabruta doesn't have a purpose. It is.” As a feat of technical mastery, Fuerzabruta is pretty astonishing. The line between on-stage and backstage are as blurred as those between stage and audience, but it's fair to say it takes more folk backstage than on to realize each performance. Much of the surprise is of course best left undescribed, though it's no secret that for a good chunk of the show the audience is looking overhead through the transparent floor of a swimming pool that's as large as many off-Broadway theaters." -CurtainUp Review
