My cousin’s friend has been working on this show for a few months and has been relentlessly bugging us to go. Finally, last Friday we conceded and decided to spend the night doing something other than sitting in a bar.

Let me begin by saying that I was completely blown away by Fuerza Bruta. It is the most creative show that I have ever seen. There is no silly, campy, run-of-the-mill on- or off-Broadway normalcy. In fact, there aren’t even any decipherable words throughout the show.

What the show does consist of is an hour and 10 minutes of insane, feels-like-you’re-tripping-on-acid lights and music. The way in which it’s presented makes the audience part of the show as you are constantly moving around to make room for stages and scenes that are seemingly constructed in a matter of seconds and ripped down in about the same time.

What this show does, which is what I think makes it so unique, is put you into a mental and emotional state of discomfort. You’re never quite sure what is going to happen next or where it’s going to come from. It keeps you intensely alert, similar to how I felt while watching the movie Crank. Like my body might fall apart from all of the adrenaline. Fight or flight, baby.

Best part? Former N’Syncer J.C. Chasez was next to us for the majority of the show. Checking out my cousin. While the chick he was with wouldn’t take her hands off of him. My cousin loved it. I just wanted to ask him for Justin’s phone number.
