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.
