Fuerza Bruta at Manila Hotel

MANILA, Philippines - Theater and dance fans and the rest of the show-going public who think they’ve seen it all better think again. Beginning this month, Fuerza Bruta, an event filled with innovative artistic thrills promises to grab their attention and never let go. A mix of theater, aerial stunts and dance party, the tour de force spectacle that has been wowing audiences across the globe will make its Manila premiere at the Manila Hotel today.

Celebrated by audiences across the world, Fuerza Bruta is a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion and kinetic aerial imagery. Defying both gravity and convention, it is a show to stun the senses. Audiences are urged not just to watch, but also shout, spin, touch and even help the cast smash things — an interactive live event that makes the usual night out dull in comparison.
