From city streets to the world's great stages, from underground to
establishment - this is the story of a theater collective without parallel
in the world today, La Fura dels Baus. The film starts with one of their
most widely seen productions - the gigantic opening ceremony of the
Shanghai Expo 2010 - and relates the story of this visionary ensemble
that is now setting new standards in opera production worldwide.
Elements such as flying actors, human sculptures, socio-political
critique and esotericism have helped create the "brand" La Fura dels
Baus in the over 30 years of their existence.
