Run, Jump, Leap, Fly
The kinetic male cast of Fuerzabruta dashes its way through spring's color wheel.
Seven of America's hottest design talents- Thakoon, Doo.Ri, Phillip Lim, Proenza Schouler, Derek Lam, Rodarte, and Rag & Bone- all got the honor of dressing one of their favorite muses, the actress Kate Bosworth, for a Vogue fashion spread shot by Mario Testino in New York. One shoot, held at the Daryl Roth Theatre on a blustery afternoon, involved a giant treadmill, British heartthrob Jim Sturgess, flying confetti, and members of the Fuerzabruta dance troupe. The end result? A day- and a white dress- to remember.
'Fuerzabruta' a splashy new hit Off-Broadway Joe Dziemianowicz - October 25, 2007
"GOBSMACKINGLY INCREDIBLE! A SEXY, HEART-POUNDING FANTASY! Not many shows can boast that they deliver something you've never seen before. THIS ONE DOES."
"The idea at the beginning was just a girl walking through this place over your head, a little puddle following her," says Diqui James, the Argentine co-creator of De La Guarda and the man behind its sequel, Fuerzabruta ("Brute Force"), which opens this week. Sitting beside technical director Alejandro Garcia in the Daryl Roth Theatre, James muses on that image. "It's not a metaphor," he says in halting English. "It's just a physical desire for something to happen."

"You can't help not getting involved," said Tom Wall, 36, who works in finance, lives in Manhattan and attended a preview. That, said Diqui James, the show's director, is the reaction he is looking for. "The audience knows that they are a part of this celebration," he said. "That's what makes it so different from the theater that is on the stage. There, you're outside, watching it, and here you are inside, making it happen."

Never Mind the Monologue: Audition by Endurance Melena Ryzik - August 26, 2007
"You have to feel you can do it forever," a voice, that of Diqui James, called out from the darkness. And Mr. Smith, who had landed on a mattress, jumped up and began again.
Mr. James is the director and a creator of 'Fuerzabruta,' a new show set to begin previews in New York on Oct. 11 and open on October 24. Like 'De La Guarda,' the Argentine blockbuster that he also helped create, it is a wordless fusion of physical and visual feats, performed by a cast of buff beauties at close range to the audience.
High Energy Behemoth Devours Edinburgh Jason Zinoman - August 19, 2007
A similarly triumphant mood permeates 'Fuerzabruta,' the much anticipated new work by the creators of 'De La Guarda,' the hit Argentine blockbuster featuring a collection of attractive, usually wet performers who seem rarely bound by the laws of gravity.
Imagine a performance of Cirque du Soleil's 'O,' except instead of sitting in your comfortable Las Vegas seat, you are thrust into the middle of the show and forced to experience it viscerally, vertiginously and very wetly. This is something like the effect of seeing 'Fuerzabruta,' a gravity-defying Argentine spectacular from the makers of 'De La Guarda' that has to be seen to be believed.
