unprofessional wrestling theater

Thursday, July 13th and Friday, July 14th | 7:00pm

The Cambridge Foundry | 101 Rogers Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts

"PLAYFIGHT" explores themes of care and violence through the lens of professional wrestling. Two characters in constant relational flux assume a collection of increasingly unreliable personas. As they dissolve into a chaotic pool of text and movement, moments of tenderness and collaboration shine through.
