The Art and Entertainment of Wrestling

Jacob Two-Two's fearsome enemy the Hooded Fang is inspired by a tradition of professional wrestling that is as dramatic as the Shakespearean tragedies on the Festival's stages. Join University of Toronto professor Daniel Tysdal and fellow experts as they explore the athleticism, drama and larger-than-life characters behind the spandex, revealing why professional wrestling continues to thrill audiences around the world.
