Brute Force At The Roundhouse

Here, in the footsteps
of The Doors, Hendrix,
Pink Floyd and The Stones,
come the gravity-defying ballerinas
the besuited running man
the gym-slip water-nymphs
the estranged tin-foil lovers
and the mad dancing corpses
of the murdered Russian Romanovs.
Now, I don't know much about
contemporary physical theatre,
but I know this much;
someone clearly watched a lot of MTV
whilst they were growing up
in Buenos Aires during the 1980's.
Like a raw and life-affirming force of nature,
like the bastard child of
'Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome'
and Duran Duran's 'Wild Boys' pop promo,
like an intoxicating mix of
aerial acrobatics
carnival atmosphere
street theatre
and Manumission club culture.
This is Fuerzabruta.
Clearly no-one's told them there's a hosepipe ban in force.
