Beyond the confines of spoken language, Fuerza Bruta floods the senses in an environment of breathtaking visuals and dynamic music. Performers run through moving walls, race across a whirling sail overhead and frolic in a watery world suspended just above the audience. The non-stop action and kinetic aerial imagery is set to a captivating soundtrack of percussive beats, engaging melodies and ambient music.

Diqui James (De La Guarda Co-founder/Co-creator) and Gaby Kerpel (De La Guarda Composer/Musical Director) have embarked on a project forming a new company that continues to push the boundaries of theatrical creativity, motivation and innovation. Together with Alejandro Garcia (De La Guarda Technical Director) and Fabio Daquila (De La Guarda Production Supervisior), they created this all new production, which springs from the core of De La Guarda and evolves into a new independent form - devoted to reinventing, transforming, and creating an experience that is unique and unrepeatable.

Fuerza Bruta premiered in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has been seen in Lisbon (2006), London (2006), Buenos Aires (2006), Bogota (2007) and at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it earned critical praise and was honored with the prestigious Bank of Scotland Herald Angel award for "the biggest and best show on the Fringe - the must see event of 2007" (The Herald).
