Lucha Libre in the Global Arena
by Glass Half Full Theatre

Jul. 01, 2023
Saturday

This original performance for all ages from Glass Half Full Theatre features wrestlers who represent solutions for Climate Crisis: Alternative Energy, Carbon Capture, El Resourcerer, and Zorro Waste. These luchadores each have their own plan to save Planet Earth, but they don’t agree which will work best. Collective action? Individual choices? The latest technologies? Or ancestral knowledge? They’ll need to overlook their differences and work together to defeat the ultimate combatant, Max Extinction.

 

Blending the Mexican form of Lucha Libre with digital media and puppets, two actors perform six characters en español e ingles to wrestle their way to a global solution for Climate Change.
