About this experience

We are a group of passionate artists and anthropologists who loves Lucha Libre show since little children. We've been doing this experience for a long time, so today we already know which details make you really enjoy the matches, even you don't know anything about them. We will teach you what to yell and how we Mexicans interact with the wrestlers during the show. What makes this experience unique is the personal and friendly attention, but also sharing the passion for wrestling from a Visual Artist, musician or anthropologist who admires the characterisation and masks. We also have to say that we really love to meet people from the whole world and share Mexican Popular culture such as the Lucha Libre. That allows us to know more, understand different ways of thinking and making culture, which we think is real human richness. Viri, Fer and Leo
