| (Creator/Artistic Director): Diqui was born in 1965 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 18, he started taking theatre lessons, in spite of never having attended a theatre before. He left the theatre school (Conservatorio Nacional) six months after having entered begun his studies. After that, Diqui enrolled in acting classes with various teachers for the next four years. In 1987, he formed part of La Organizacion Negra (1985-1992), an independent theatre group that created its own plays. He performed in the group’s plays: UORC (’86-’87), La Tiroleza (’88-’90), and Almas Exterminadas (’91-’92). In 1993, together with some of his mates from L.O.N., Diqui co-founded De La Guarda (1993-2006). In 2002, with many of the members of De La Guarda, he founded Fuerzabruta with the goal to form a company in which creativity and experimentation are priority. |
| (Musical Director/Composer): Gaby was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on March 18th, 1964. During his adolescence, he was encouraged by his older brother Anibal to take music lessons. He later played keyboards in several jazz-rock and pop bands. In 1985 he was introduced to La Organizacion Negra, a group that revolutionized the Argentine theatre scene, and composed the music for their three shows: U.O.R.C (1986), La Tirolesa (1988) and Almas Examinadas (1992). In 1993, the group dissolved and two of their members, Diqui James and Pichon Baldinu, formed De La Guarda. Gaby began working on various other projects including video, film and dance endeavors, but De La Guarda was always given top priority. Starting this year, Gaby began work with Diqui James on a new show called Fuerzabruta, featuring a more electronic and pop sensibility without losing its tribal and percussive roots. |

| (Producer) has spent the last decade bringing new artists and audiences to the theater. David produced De La Guarda, Fuerza Bruta’s predecessor, in New York and around the world. At the Daryl Roth Theater, the flying Argentines literally lifted a young, international crowd off its feet for six years. Most recently, David produced Moises Kaufman’s 33 Variations starring Jane Fonda and The New Island Festival, a 10 day festival of Dutch theater, music and art on Governors Island. Other credits include the Tony Award- winning revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun and John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask’s rowdy, loud and ultimately sweet rock ‘n’roll musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. With Lisa Kron’s 2.5 Minute Ride and Danny Hoch’s Taking Over, David has showed his support for new writing that is polemical, political and hilarious. Other credits include The High Line Festival, curated by David Bowie; Meow Meow’s Meow to the World; The Public Sings: A 50th Anniversary Celebration for the Public Theater; and five shows with the Donmar Warehouse, including Frost/Nixon and Mary Stuart on Broadway and Guys and Dolls in the West End.
