Standing around with a drink in your hand as if you were on the dance floor of a club might not be a good idea at a Diqui James production.
In "Fuerza Bruta," which premiered in 2005 and continues its evolution in Tokyo this month, pairs of performers on overhead wires zoom around chasing each other as four or five dive down and skim the floor like aerobatics planes. Some may even touch down briefly and whisk an audience member away into the air.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by everyone gazing intently upward, a small stage materializes in their midst with a man in a white suit on it walking in silence. In fact he has no choice because the floor under him is moving like a treadmill and he has to walk, or run. What is he running from — or to — and what is hunting him?
