Fuerza Bruta: BLIND
Wayra
Fuerza Bruta Wayra is a dynamic and
immersive theater experience. It proposes to break
the intellectual subjection of language. Use all
the available media to operate effectively on the
sensitivity of the viewer. Brings it to other territories
where there are other more powerful laws. Space
where the speed of the received stimulus surpasses
the intellectual reaction and the emotion comes
first. The spectator surrenders, knowing that it is
part of an artistic fact, a parallel reality, ethereal,
beautiful, delirious and absolutely truer than the
every day, knowing that he being led to crash into
his own sensibility. A sensitivity collective, universal,
without translation, or anesthesia. Brutally happy.

BLIND is an urban performance presented
as an open work that refers to different
readings: the reduction of our existence to the
productive function and consumption, overwork,

imprisonment and petrification
of life,
automation
of daily life, ethical degeneration that is spreading
at the present stage of society. The visual
proposal is to criticize the grinding conditions
so typical of all kinds of corporate work iconized
in the social outfits that men and women wear
in the great metropolises as an everyday armor.
The debut of BLIND was on Paulista Avenue,
followed by a performance in Rio de Janeiro in
2012. It was also performed in Paris, Amsterdam,
Barcelona, Funchal, New York, Prague, San José,
Zurich, Taipei, and a few other global capitals.
Desvio Coletivo is a network of creators
in a contemporary theatrical scene that
works in the border zone between theater,
performance and urban intervention. Through
the creation of performance, shows and scenic
interventions in different urban spaces, the
group develops actions that generate islands of
ephemeral disorder of critical nature. Directed
by Marcos Bulhões and Priscilla Toscano, and
produced by Leandro Brasilio and Marie Auip,
the group brings together more than twenty
collaborators from different areas. Since 2011,
the group has been researching collaborative
scenic creation, aiming at experimenting with
different modalities of sensorial, dialogical and
creative participation of the viewer, displacing
its conventional role, whether as an actor, co-
creator of the scenic speech or as a member
of a psychophysical immersion atmosphere.
