Off-Broadway's Fuerzabruta Hits 100 at Daryl Roth Theatre Jan. 18
By Ernio Hernandez
18 Jan 2008
Off-Broadway's new theatrical spectacle, Fuerzabruta (Brute Force), plays its 100th performance Jan. 18.
The show began performances Oct. 11 and opened Oct. 24 at the former home of De La Guarda, the Daryl Roth Theatre. The previously extended run plays through June 29. The 10:30 PM performance will mark the production's 100th show.
De La Guarda's Diqui James (co-founder/co-creator) and Gaby Kerpel (composer/musical director) again "push the boundaries of theatrical creativity, motivation and innovation," according to a press statement. Fuerzabruta (Brute Force) "breaks free from the confines of spoken language and theatrical convention [where] both performers and audience are immersed in an environment that floods the senses, evoking pure visceral emotion in a place where individual imagination soars."
Featured performers include Hallie Bulleit, Freddy Bosche, Daniel Case, Michael Hollick, Joshua Kobak, Gwyneth Larsen, Tamara Levinson, Rose Mallare, Brooke Miyasaki, Jon Morris, Jason Novak, Marlyn Ortiz and Kepani Salgado-Ramos.
Among visuals to be expected: "A man runs full throttle through a series of moving walls, individuals race to connect from opposite sides of a whirling sail and performers frolic and interact in a watery world suspended just above the audience."
Fans who remember De La Guarda can plan to enjoy a similar, yet completely new experience as the action is set to "percussive beats, engaging melodies and hypnotic ambient music."
Fuerzabruta first played in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has also performed in Lisbon, London, Buenos Aires and Bogota with runs in Berlin and Hamburg to follow.
Concert Productions International (CPI), Ozono Productions and David Binder Productions produce the New York run.
Tickets to Fuerzabruta (Brute Force) at the Daryl Roth Theatre, 20 Union Square East (at 15th Street), can be purchased by calling (212) 239-6200 or at the box office. A limited number of $25 (cash-only) rush tickets will be made available two hours prior to curtain. For more information visit fuerzabrutanyc.com.

Good ingredients make a great cake*
Ingredients:
- Argentine images turned into reality and tested all around the world
- A crew that loves theatrical spectacles
- Climbers that chuckle in the face of fear
- 13 thrill seeking actors with way too much energy
Preheat:
8 hours of productive sleeping
Mix:
2 hours of organizing the apartment
45 minutes of hang time with Veronica at Sephora and Chipolte's
20 minutes of strategizing at the Genius Bar
20 minutes drooling over MacBook Air's
10 minutes of wolfing down a Fat Witch caramel brownie
1 hour of constructive criticism towards a better year
45 minutes of more constructive criticism for a better hour
45 minutes of laughter during a led but not followed warm-up
15 minutes of 80's dance music just before places
Bake for 1 hour in a black box with lights, sound, big sets, fun props, an astute crew and sick-ass performers.
Top it with:
1 dancing Cloud
1 spritely puppy named Capo
1 David Binder
1 Orlando Bloom
1 Neil Patrick Harris
1 dozen celebrity snowboarders still amped from the Burton expo in Union Square
300 anonymous smiling faces that voluntarily dance with you in the rain
Still high and wet from the performance, I made my way downstairs. An audience member and his friend asked me questions at the door of the women's dressing room, "Where is this from? Where is the cast from?" His friend said with an English accent, "...You made me feel like a kid again." Orlando Bloom told me this, and I couldn't help but swoon into the dressing room shortly after.
Chase it with a JD and Coke, a toast with friends, a picture with audience members and reminisce the moments with a very happy crew.
*The beauty of theater and the festivities around cake: it only happens once and isn't easily replicated. If you are there in the moment, savor it. There is an awesome feeling in knowing you are a fine ingredient of the most grandiose cake.

My friends are HOT! Broadway.com came back for more...
Brookie, Gwyn, Mikey, Jon and Daniel are even hotter in person. Everything they say is true. My favorite line, "Its really the crew's show. We just get to play and the they have to clean it up!" said Jon.

Vogue tried to make us classy
Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess were in our theater for a Vogue photo shoot for fashion designer Phillip Lim. Jon showed them what to do. Haven't seen the shot in the magazine yet, but its for sale on magazine stands.
