From the creators of De la Guarda comes the biggest theatrical event of Summer 2014! Heart-pumping electronic music, aerial acrobatics, extravagant visuals, and water (more than 6,000 gallons a show!) will transform Miami’s Arsht Center into an alternate universe where audiences step onto the stage and are engulfed in a 360 degree experience! H2OMBRE was originally commissioned for the 2008 Expo i
n Zaragosa, Spain as a 30 minute featured production tied in with the larger Expo theme of “water”. Over 3 million people experienced the Expo version of the production in Zaragosa witnessing actors erupt with water via the use of theatrical water effects staged for the first time ever. In 2011, Pichon Baldinu worked with his long-time partner, Gabriella Baldini, to create a full length script and plan for the show. The spectacular water sequences featured in the Expo version of the show were expanded and enhanced and a larger theme of an artist’s journey through a surreal underwater world was added to provide a continuous thread through the work. The first full length performance of H2OMBRE, running just over an hour in duration, was performed in Buenos Aires in September 2011 at the Centro Cultural Recoleta. The production ran successfully for nine months in Buenos Aires until the Summer of 2012 followed by engagements in Rosario and Mendoza, Argentina in Fall 2012; August 2013 in Mexico City and February 2014 in Tel Aviv. Reprising their success as the first venue to present Fuerzabruta outside of Latin America, Miami’s Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is the premiere venue for H2OMBRE in North America. Similar to De La Guarda, the production is designed to be highly immersive. H2OMBRE invites audiences young and old to engage with and live theatrical experience. With state-of-the-art three-dimensional projection screens, pulsating electronic music and mon¬strous inflatables, Miami audiences will join the adventure as our heroes have epic battles with mythical beasts and brave the elements! will perform at the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida for 7 weeks from July 18 to August 31, 2014 before embarking on a world-wide tour.
