My Cholita...

In Bolivia, indigenous women take on professional wrestling identities, and have comical, farsical matches. In this brightly colored image, one woman fkies over anither, who is on the ring floor, facing up. They are called Cholitas, which has now, instead of being a derogatory naming, become a point of pride.

A woman flies over her opponent in a Bolivian cholita wrestling match. This scene reminds me of shamanistic tales of flying, and magical powers.
