"FUERZA BRUTA is unconventional theatre, no one sits down at our show, so to be able to give audience members an opportunity to experience FUERZA BRUTA with Usher in the action is incredible," said Stephen Shaw, executive producer for FUERZA BRUTA.  "We couldn't be more honored that a powerhouse such as Usher understands, and wants to be a part of the excitement and awe that is FUERZA BRUTA."

FUERZA BRUTA floods the senses with breathtaking visuals and dynamic music as performers run through moving walls and frolic in a watery world suspended just above the audience.  The non-stop action and kinetic aerial imagery is set to a beat-driven, heart-pumping soundtrack.  Since its opening in 2007, FUERZA BRUTA has garnered rave reviews with The New York Times hailing the show "a physical and visual extravaganza," while the New York Post describes it as, "a dazzling blend of erotic, hypnotic, aquatic."

FUERZA BRUTA, which translates to "brute force," is an Argentinean-founded multi-sensory spectacular created by artistic director Diqui James and musical director Gaby Kerpel, the same creators of De La Guarda.
