Lucha Teotl
BIG NEWS!!
‘Lucha Teotl’ is headed to the Goodman Theatre in Chicago!! We are so proud of this show we developed with an incredible team in 2021. We were blown away by the reception in DFW and we are so excited to see it have new life in Chicago. We wish writer & director team Chris Ramirez and Jeff Colangelo all the best! Shout to our incredible fight choreographer Aski Palomino who will also be a part of this new retelling. We can't wait to see what happens with this show's next chapter.
"Originally developed with Prism Movement Theater and produced in partnership with CLATA as part of 2023 Destinos Festival, actors and luchadores (wrestlers) in masks representative of Aztec gods play out an exciting wrestling story about family, honor, tradition and redemption."
Lucha Teotl is a new production from Prism Movement Theater featuring a mix of local Dallas acting talent and local luchadores, or wrestlers. Lucha Teotl is an immersive experience, with the audience ringside watching luchadores wearing the masks of Aztec gods, playing out a sincere and exciting wrestling storyline.
This bilingual show follows a young rambunctious male luchador teaming up with a more experienced female luchador to gain the championship title, evoking the epic, multi-year storylines that occur throughout lucha libre. Prism’s goal is to respectfully reflect the high drama and rich cultural history of lucha in a theatrical narrative. They are working with seasoned lucha libre performers in authentically creating the production to represent the community and the craft of this popular entertainment.
