After a decade or so away, cult Argentine physical spectacular Fuerza Bruta returns to London in a new guise. Following the brooding machismo of its previous incarnation, ‘Aven’ is, apparently, an upbeat burst of sunshine and light: ‘we abandoned any note of darkness, we got rid of every trace of intellectual or aggressive strife. And we decided to create the happiest show we have ever done’, quoth artistic director Diqui James.
Exactly what this looks like we’ll find out in the summer of 2024 when it returns to the Roundhouse; but regardless of the new, sunnier vibes, ‘Aven’ will surely be a visually stunning tour de force.
