FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP Featured On EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2009 5/16

The Eurovision Song Contest, recently featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," is an annual competition for active Members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is one of the most-watched TV programs in the world, with 42 countries competing for first place. The coveted and prestigious featured performance act for 2009 is the international hit FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP, a non-stop collision of dynamic music, jaw-dropping acrobatics, visceral emotion, and kinetic aerial imagery that resembles nothing less than a fantastic mash-up between aerial theater and ground-breaking performance that needs to be experienced to be understood.

Breaking free from the confines of spoken language and theatrical convention, FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP is an event where worlds collide and reality takes a back seat. This heart-pounding theatrical experience transforms its environment into an alternate universe with flying dancers, pumping beats and engaging dream sequences.

Argentinean creative genius Diqui James, one of the creators of the smash hit show De La Guarda, created the original scenes and magnificent customized scenes exclusively for the Eurovision Song Contest.

"It is a huge honor to be associated with one of the world's most important television programs," said Diqui James. "This is definitely a land mark in the long line of recent accolades and successes we've been enjoying with this production."

FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP has a company at the Daryl Roth Theater in Union Square, New York City that is currently performing their second blockbuster year, as well as a touring company that has played major cities worldwide including New York, Buenos Aires, Lisbon, London, Cordoba, Bogota, Edinburgh, Berlin, Mexico, and Sao Paulo to high critical acclaim.

FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP premiered in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has been seen in Lisbon (2006), London (2006), Buenos Aires (2006), Bogota (2007) and at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2007), where it earned critical praise and was honored with the Bank of Scotland Herald Angel award for "the biggest and best show on the Fringe - the must see event of 2007" (The Herald). In October 2007, FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP debuted at New York City's Daryl Roth Theatre where De La Guarda had played a smashing six-year off-Broadway run. The New York engagement has attracted unprecedented national media attention and quickly extended its run due to overwhelming demand.

Celebrity followers of James' De La Guarda included Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, Sting, Britney Spears, Harrison Ford, Tyra Banks, Robert DeNiro, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sandra Bullock, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore, and Drew Barrymore, among others.

Celebrities who have visited the NYC production of Fuerza Bruta: Look Up include Jessica Alba, Fergie, Beyonce, Rachel McAdams, Jude Law, John Legend, Tyra Banks, Shakira, Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Serena Williams.

FUERZA BRUTA: LOOK UP was created by Diqui James (De La Guarda Co-founder/Co-creator); Gaby Kerpel (De La Guarda Composer/Musical Director); Alejandro Garcia (De La Guarda Technical Director) and Fabio Daquila (De La Guarda Production Supervisor).
