I have just transcended something that I can't comprehend in the most magnificent way.
Fuerzabruta.
This evening we went on the "not so touristy" part of town today called Camden Town. The whole point of going was pretty much to prove that we've never seen anything like it and nothing else is comparable to it. And indeed it was like nothing I've ever seen.
It held the angsty punk rockers of the London society in addition to the prim and proper hipsters. Literally anything and everything you could find there.
After exploring Camden Market, we went to the pub that Amy Winehouse is known for getting her start in. Then after a bottle of wine, we went to a show called "Fuerzabruta."
Now here me when I say this, FUERZABRUTA WAS THE MOST TRANSCENDENTAL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Yes, I had three glasses of wine, but that wasn't why I reacted to this experience the way that I have. Fuerzabruta consisted of a whole gang of Argentinian performance artists who played drums, sang, and somehow dropped multiple and extremely sick basses while others literally flew through the auditorium, swam over the audience, ran on treadmills, crashed through walls, smashed boxes on audience members' heads, and the list goes on.
What's important though is this: even though I have no idea what the movement behind the artistry was, I enjoyed every second and was absolutely mesmerized. The music, the dubstep, the audience, the energy. I literally felt everything flowing through my body and it couldn't have been more euphoric.
Like, I literally can't even tell you. (Also, let us note that I have just returned from this show and am still in a trance after what I've just seen)
Ah. All right. I feel that this will never be properly put into words so I will just have to leave it at that.
London Love, Kristen
