New blocks of tickets that were previously held as production holds have now been released for all FUERZA BRUTA performances at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. 

In addition, a limited number of $20 rush tickets will be available nightly beginning one hour prior to each performance.  

"The response to FUERZA BRUTA has been nothing short of stunning," declared John Richard, president and CEO of the Center. "The show's extraordinary energy and international popularity has already created a buzz throughout the community. People are experiencing the Center in a totally new way - from the entrance through the loading dock and unprecedented on stage access to the pre- and post-show action in Barton G.'s G-Lounge. The Arsht Center is poised to become the showplace destination of the summer." 

"This is a fabulous show - full-on energy that becomes a thrilling ride for the senses," says Michael Cohl, chairman of S2BN Entertainment, the Miami-based entertainment company that is producing the show.  "We have traveled this show around the world to rave reviews, so now we are so excited to bring it home, to our own backyard." 

Free from the confines of spoken language and conventional theater, FUERZA BRUTA has become the "go-to" theatrical experience for edgy non-stop entertainment that completely dazzles and is totally spectacular. In hotspots around the world - Buenos Aires, New York, Lisbon, London, Cordoba, Bogota, Edinburgh, Berlin, Mexico and Sao Paulo -- the show has been met with wildly enthusiastic approval and, in New York where it is now in its second year, it remains one of the hottest tickets in town.

FUERZA BRUTA is an event where worlds collide and reality takes a back seat. This heart-pounding theatrical experience takes place completely on the Lynn Wolfson stage and begins the moment audiences walk in through the Center's loading dock (dubbed the "Media Dock") into the G-Lounge - a hip urban space alive with heart-pounding club music directed by Miami's best DJs, multimedia art installations created by local artists, and a signature Barton G. food and beverage experience. 

At show time, audiences are ushered onto the main stage where they are engulfed in a 360 degree spectacle featuring mind-blowing visual effects just inches above the audience that must be seen to be believed - a man running full throttle on a giant treadmill, bursting through a series of moving walls; performers suspended in mid-air surrounded by a vast sea of mylar; and gorgeous women twisting ethereally in a lucite pool above the audience.  Argentinean creative genius Diqui James, one of the creators of the smash hit show De La Guarda, created original scenes and magnificent customized staging exclusively for the Miami engagement. 

As the performance winds down, the visual and aural party continues in the G-Lounge. The pre- and post-party lounge is open to the general public. 

FUERZA BRUTA premiered in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has been seen in Lisbon (2006), London (2006), Buenos Aires (2006), Bogota (2007) and at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2007), where it earned critical praise and was honored with the Bank of Scotland Herald Angel award for "the biggest and best show on the Fringe - the must see event of 2007" (The Herald). In October 2007, FUERZA BRUTA debuted at New York City's Daryl Roth Theatre where De La Guarda had played a smashing six-year off-Broadway run. The New York engagement has attracted unprecedented national media attention and quickly extended its run due to overwhelming demand. 

Celebrity followers of James' De La Guarda included Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, Sting, Britney Spears, Harrison Ford, Tyra Banks, Robert DeNiro, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sandra Bullock, Lucy Liu, Demi Moore and Drew Barrymore, Lil Wayne among others. 

Celebrities who have visited the NYC production of Fuerza Bruta include Jessica Alba, Fergie, Beyonce, Rachel McAdams, Jude Law, John Legend, Tyra Banks, Shakira, Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Serena Williams.  

FUERZA BRUTA was created by Diqui James (De La Guarda Co-founder/Co-creator); Gaby Kerpel (De La Guarda Composer/Musical Director); Alejandro Garcia (De La Guarda Technical Director) and Fabio Daquila (De La Guarda Production Supervisor).
