Since Argentinian physical theater troupe Fuerza Bruta burst onto the scene in Buenos Aires in 2005, some 5 million people in more than 30 countries have experienced its high-energy, postmodern productions, which are often tailored to wherever they're staged.

This time, the stage is Tokyo's Stellar Ball theater, which is next to Shinagawa Station. And audiences there — who are better described as "spectators" — are being treated to the world-premiere run of "Fuerza Bruta Wa! Wonder Japan Experience."

Although the show has been fashioned for today's Japan, creative director Diqui James says its inspiration goes way back.
