LUCHADORAS
A Beloved Mexican Tradition Makes its Way to Durham
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Durham, NC – Theatrical is an underestimation of what should be expected at the upcoming “LUCHADORAS” event at Motorco Music Hall. The exuberant Mexican wrestling spectacular that marries astonishing acrobatics and exhilarating aerial maneuvers with flamboyant masked characters and outlandish story lines will be on display, Saturday, November 19th, at noon.
In Mexico, Lucha Libre (free wrestling) rivals soccer in attendance, and boasts a 75-year history of imaginative, family-friendly entertainment. The tradition of wearing masks dates back to the Aztecs and the designs are meant to evoke the power of animals, gods and other ancient heroes. The “luchador” or wrestler takes on that identity and the mask is so sacred that to wager and lose one’s mask in a battle is considered a disgrace.
The evening, titled simply “LUCHADORAS,” will bring the well-loved Mexican tradition to Durham, with a slight twist – only female wrestlers will be permitted to compete. The 3-hour spectacle will feature numerous one-on-one matches and a few tag team bouts. Additionally, patrons will have an opportunity to consume authentic Mexican “street” fare from famed area taco truck Captain Ponchos Tacos, and take photographs with their favorite Luchadoras at the photo booth.
Many of the performers costumes will be assembled using recycled materials from Durham’s beloved Scrap Exchange, and all of the proceeds will go toward grassroots food justice efforts in Durham, NC.
The event will take place from noon-3pm, Saturday, November 19th. Admission is $5 (free for children under 12 years of age).
Motorco is located at 723 Rigsbee Avenue
