We chat to a select group of global representatives from around the world on their experience at this exciting show made just for Japan
In association with WA! Japan Production Committee
Japan’s very own Fuerza Bruta: WA! Wonder Japan Experience continues to wow the crowds day in and day out with its unique take on Japan. For those of you who haven’t seen the show, be prepared for an explosion of fun, in a completely mind-blowing showcase of Japanese culture from director and creator Diqui James’ unique point of view. The audience continues to be a mix of visitors and locals alike, including a special group of representatives from countries around the world. What did they think about the show? Find out here as we check in with a few of them from Greece, Micronesia and Spain.
Eva Martin from Spain:
Yes, it was. I think it is a very original show that combines modern and old Japanese aesthetics as well as music and tradition.
Rosa Martin from the Spanish Tourism Board:
Yes. I really enjoyed the techno-style music – it was really well chosen, matching the choreography and makes you want to get up and participate in the show!
Eirini Kama, First Secretary for Economic and Commercial Affairs, from Greece:
Overall it was a wonderful experience. It combines the charm and spirit of Japan with technology. The drums and the Japanese masks used were also a really special part of the show.
J. F. from Micronesia:
I really enjoyed the music, which was a combination of Japanese drums and the flute during the show. Also, the part where the performers dressed up in traditional samurai outfits and performed energetic runs was very impressive.
Eva Martin from Spain:
I really enjoyed the part of the show with the performers in the transparent swimming pool. Seeing them enjoying and playing with the water from below is a very unique point of view and made me feel like I was enjoying myself too.
Victoria Valero, Japan-based artist:
The whole show was unique. It is like a futuristic theatre where the spectator is in the middle of everything that is happening and you really get to enjoy the show up front. A very interesting part was the actors walking upwards on the stage wall and falling from above in groups making circles. Also, having the rails on the floor of the stage that permit the dancers to spin, dance and move around while being attached to a moving platform was amazing.
Dionissys Protopapas, Counsellor at the Embassy of Greece:
It was a really unique experience. The combination of art and technology was magnificent. I have never watched anything quite like that before. I would really love to watch it again and would recommend it to my friends.
Victoria Valero from Spain:
Yes! I would like to see Fuerza Bruta’s next show and I have already recommended this one to my friends. Congratulations on Fuerza Bruta: WA! Wonder Japan Experience!
