Roundhouse - Lucha Libre London
In its triumphant debut at the Roundhouse this summer Lucha Libre fought for the heart and soul of London – and won hands down.
Now they are back for the rematch - four days of spectacular high-flying, jaw-dropping, ring-grappling, mask-wearing Mexican entertainment that is guaranteed to rock your world this December.
It’s an early festive Luchadrome, featuring the legendary gladiator El Hijo del Santo, whose tecnico side includes the mighty but minimal Mascarita Sagrada as they face the evil side of the rudos, whose leader Blue Demon Jr. is joined by the lonesome and nasty Hijo del Solitario and El Lobo, the mini-troll from Jack Black’s Nacho Libre.
Lucha Libre London also brings back London’s favourite lip-locking, transvestite wrestler Cassandro and this time he’s bringing a new exotico to the party – ‘La Chiquilla’ Ruby Gardenia - for double the cross-dressing action. The luchadores line-up also includes: the sun god Solar; high flyers Mystyco de Juárez and Magno; the singing mariachi ‘Corazon de Barrio’; the prince of darkness Silver King; the giant Athor; and the minis Octagoncito and Pequeño Pierrot.
The whole phantasmagorical spectacle is held together by MC Greg McLaren ‘El Caballero Ingles’ and DJ Toy Selectah of the Mexican super group Control Machete.
Is it wrestling? Is it theatre? Is it cabaret? Who knows? But it could definitely be the best early Christmas present ever.
The Luchadores: El Hijo del Santo, Blue Demon Jr., Solar, Cassandro, Mystyco de Juárez, Silver King, Hijo del Solitario, Magno, Mascarita Sagrada, Octagoncito, Corazon de Barrio ‘El Aventurero’, Ruby Gardenia, El Lobo, Pequeño Pierrot, Athor, Anibal Jr.
