More than 40 years of collective work
La Fura dels Baus is eccentricity, innovation, adaptation, rhythm, evolution and transgression. Such characteristic and unique essence led the company to pioneer the reconceptualization of two of the most significant aspects of the dramatic art: the theatrical space and the public. Thus, respectively, they redefined the space by moving it to non-conventional ones – and changed the public role from passive to active, which meant a breaking of the “fourth wall”. And it is that there is no creation without risk – a compiled premise from the beginning, since their first street shows, where the authentic essence of La Fura was born.
The interdisciplinary approach of La Fura dels Baus has led to amalgamate the ritual and atavistic with the hyper-technological in the scene: from the first proposals fureras impact, through Olympic ceremonies, stagings of opera or online productions.
Since 1979 the company has also been studying the methodologies of creation of the collective and the consolidation of new scenic discourses. The capacity for risk and creative contagion has given La Fura dels Baus wide international recognition, both in terms of audiences and critics, and also in terms of academic research.
