“Fuerza Bruta,” the nonverbal performance show famous for tantalizing the senses with high energy from both the performers and the audiences, is returning to Korea.
The show's Korean organizer, Showbeyond Entertainment, said, Friday, “Fuerza Bruta Wayra in Seoul” will be held from July 20 to Oct. 10 at the FB Theater, a temporary structure for the show that is being built in front of Seoul Express Bus Terminal in southern Seoul.
Tickets for the first six days ― July 20 to 25 ― will go on sale at 2 p.m. on June 13.
The Argentinian performance drew huge attention and rave reviews during previous presentations here in 2018 and 2019. Some new performances will be added to this year's edition, including a scene named “The Crane,” the organizer said.
Fuerza Bruta means “brutal force” in Spanish, and the “360-degree performance” uses not only the floor as its stage but also the ceiling and the walls. With no seats and no specific storyline, audience members are encouraged to engage, jumping and dancing together with the performers.
Many celebrities have participated as guest performers in the shows around the world, with actress Choi Yeo-jin and rapper Jang Woo-hyuk participating in previous Korean editions.
