Wrestleladswrestle , a new live performance by acclaimed artist and choreographer Jenni Jackson, explosively combines theatre, dance, judo and pro-wrestling to transform the studio theatre into a battleground of joy and reclamation. Inspired by her Bolivian mother, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and entertainment wrestling, Jenni dares to confront and reimagine a 'historical' racist incident she witnessed her mother endure when she was a child. Jenni draws on her real-life teenage career as the under 50kg British Judo Champion, and brings an almighty Girl Gang to join her in this ambitious and exhilarating theatrical event.
