Fuerza Bruta

Fuerza Bruta (literally meaning "brute force") is a postmodern theatre show that premiered in Buenos Aires in 2005 and was created by Diqui James. It is also the name of the company that produces the show. Members of the company that created Fuerza Bruta were co-creators of a previous company called De La Guarda, which presented a similar show named Villa Villa.
