Description
From a very young age, Lourdes Grobet became interested in the spectacle of Mexican wrestling. She is the only woman who has worked on this subject for over 25 years, and through her lens, she has captured the magic of this passionate sport, which is widely talked about but little understood. Wrestling is a separate and special world, admired yet misunderstood. These warriors require their costumes, as their appearance is not only a beautiful adornment characteristic of the wrestling context but also a weapon to confuse, dazzle, frighten, and amuse their opponents. They are altered warriors, deriving sublime pleasure from assuming an "anonymous" stoicism. While their public lives may be a known legend, their private lives must remain a secret, as their epic fantasy clashes with the ordinary everyday environment and its particular mystery. In this fascinating book, the avid arena-goer delves into the private lives of these idols, visiting their homes, their meeting places, and celebrating alongside the legendary ring gladiators. Each wrestler takes us to the edge of their personal mystery.
