Fuerza Bruta worker sues show after fall

Helping actors fly proved painful for one stage worker at a long-running Union Square show.

An aerial rigger who helped bring to life “Fuerza Bruta” — in which performers swing over the audience members’ heads — says in a lawsuit that she broke her leg, wrist and jaw in a fall while working on the show.

Stacy Ebenstein says in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit that those behind “Fuerza Bruta” “had a duty to provide performers, assistants, aerial riggers and others working in the show with a safe place to work.”

She is suing producers S2BN Entertainment and others responsible for putting on the show, which is set to close in January.

She lost teeth in the July 2011 fall and had to undergo “multiple surgeries, prolonged hospitalization and extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation,” say court papers.

Show executive director Stephen Shaw declined to comment.
