Fuerzabruta and Zafferano got together last week for one extraordinary evening of physical stunt theatre and sensual food at London’s iconic Roundhouse.
First, guests were wowed by the thrilling show from Argentina, and then treated to tasters from Zafferano’s new Summer menu at the Venue’s Circle Bar, which was transformed into deluxe food stations and a cocktail lounge for the night. Everyone left the Roundhouse on a high – ‘When you see something like Fuerzabruta, you know what post-modern theatre means!’ said Zafferano MD Julian Saipe.
Fuerzabruta is one of the hippest shows playing in London this year. ‘It rips through your senses and throws you around,’ says Julian – a man who thought he’d seen it all… before he saw this. ‘The mind-blowing visual effects have to seen to be believed’ – such as a man bursting full throttle through a series of moving walls, or a giant aquarium suspended just inches above the audience’s faces.
It’s a show that’s typical of the Roundhouse and its bold identity – versatile, creative, slightly edgy. What better venue to showcase Zafferano’s new Summer dinner menus
Our guests included leading Event Management companies Imagination, Sledge, Itch, Pure Consulting, WRG and Evolve.
