fuerzabruta

Last night Matt and I went to see Fuerzabruta at the newly reopened Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, near where we used to live. Fuerzabruta is physical theatre, set to breakneck clubbing music and moody lighting, with various visually arresting scenes. Two women run and tumble around a vertical wall of shimmering coloured silver fabric; two people tumble around opposite surfaces of a huge whirling vertical sail, a man runs along a conveyor belt occasionly bursting through walls of boxes and shreds of paper, and a huge sheet of plastic covered with water is lowered down above the heads of the audience as four nymphs leap and slide around on the other side of the plastic, low enough for the audience to touch them. It was about an hour long, and very enjoyable...
