Fuerzabruta to get Limerick City of Culture premiere
The acting Limerick City of Culture CEO, Mike Fitzpatrick, yesterday unveiled the old Dell warehouse as the venue for the Irish premiere of Fuerzabruta, an eye-popping rave of a show that’s equal parts dance, musical, circus and full-blown acid trip.
Running from March 13 – 21, the immersive extravaganza – which translates as ‘Brute Force’ – originated in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has since travelled the world with its latest stop-off the London Roundhouse where it’s set new attendance records.
It hasn’t all been plain sailing though with three audience members and a performer suffered minor injuries last Friday when a rotating mechanical sail malfunctioned and collapsed into the crowd.
A spokesperson later told The Guardian that the equipment had been “rigged correctly" and that "no human error" was involved.
It’s am amazing spectacle though, which will really get the City of Culture celebrations going and an interesting new use for a space that has been depressingly empty since Dell closed almost ten years ago.
