Interactive Off-Broadway Production Will Feature Handsy, Flying Argentinians… Again

New Yorkers brave enough (or high enough) to catch the 2000-something extended run of “De La Guarda”–where performers suspended by cables soared over audience members and dropped water and confetti on them as a prelude to vigorous groping, all while musicians on acid performed ‘world music’ overhead–get to re-live all their favorite moments of visual and aural molestation: the team behind it is returning to Gotham with a new show called “Fuerzabruta” (that’s “Brute Force” to you monolinguals), opening in October. Touting successful runs in Bogotá and Buenos Aires, “Fuerzabruta” claims to be “a dream that arises from the core of ‘De La Guarda’ and grows an independent form.” We say it’s the same shit as before, judging from the images and promotional text on the show’s site:

The spectator is within an extraordinary reality. He is not emotionally safe in a single moment of the work. [...] The public doesn’t take part, it forms part. Injured. Celebrating.

In other words, it’ll be months before your girlfriend or boyfriend quits fantasizing about sex with a gravity-defying Argentinian.
