ABOUT DE LA GUARDA

1,000 balloons, 250 Toys and 12 Flying Bodies: they're all at DE LA GUARDA, the jaw-dropping spectacle that surrounds you and literally falls from the sky. DE LA GUARDA is an exuberant new form of theater, the coolest show ever, and an experience that must be seen to be believed.

To call this show "high-flying" would be to vastly understate the thrill of the experience. Off-Broadway's soaring sensation De La Guarda is enjoying one hot spring as it continues its open-ended run at the Daryl Roth Theatre. The show celebrates its 6th Anniversary in New York in June 2004.

De La Guarda pushes the boundaries of theatrical convention and has become a major draw on the downtown theater scene. The show continues to delight New Yorkers and tourists alike, as well as countless celebrities and thrill-seeking "frequent flyers."

De La Guarda has wowed audiences the world over through productions in London, Las Vegas, Buenos Aires, Mexico city, Seoul, Amsterdam and Berlin, in addition to the long-running New York hit. De La Guarda landed in New York following a successful run at the 1997 London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT), where it played to sold-out houses and unanimous critical acclaim. Members of De La Guarda performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina in various combinations for over 12 years before coming together in 1993 to form the current production, which toured Europe and South America before making its U.S. debut. The company is responsible for all creative elements of the show: writing, music composition, set design and construction, performing and choreography. De La Guarda is directed by Pichon Baldinu and Diqui James.
