Off-Broadway’s watery spectacle Fuerzabruta is paid a visit by Tyra Banks and her band of model hopefuls on the April 2 episode of “America’s Next Top Model.”
The weekly series, which airs on the CW network Wednesdays at 8 PM ET, challenges a group of young hopeful models to various industry-related tasks.
The April 2 episode finds the models and their art director Mr. J on the set of Fuerzabruta, where they discover they will be photographed while submerged in the production’s clear mylar pool.
Fuerzabruta began performances Oct. 11 and opened Oct. 24 at the former home of De La Guarda, the Daryl Roth Theatre. The previously-extended run plays through June 29.

De La Guarda’s Diqui James (co-founder/co-creator) and Gaby Kerpel (composer/musical director) again “push the boundaries of theatrical creativity, motivation and innovation,” according to a press statement. Fuerzabruta (Brute Force) “breaks free from the confines of spoken language and theatrical convention [where] both performers and audience are immersed in an environment that floods the senses, evoking pure visceral emotion in a place where individual imagination soars.”
Featured performers include Hallie Bulleit, Freddy Bosche, Daniel Case, Michael Hollick, Joshua Kobak, Gwyneth Larsen, Tamara Levinson, Rose Mallare, Brooke Miyasaki, Jon Morris, Jason Novak, Marlyn Ortiz and Kepani Salgado-Ramos.
Fuerzabruta first played in Buenos Aires in 2005 and has also performed in Lisbon, London, Buenos Aires and Bogota with runs in Berlin and Hamburg to follow.
Concert Productions International (CPI), Ozono Productions and David Binder Productions produce the New York run.
Tickets to Fuerzabruta (Brute Force) at the Daryl Roth Theatre, 20 Union Square East (at 15th Street), can be purchased by calling (212) 239-6200 or at the box office.
