In the gaudy, flamboyant world of Lucha Libre, Cassandro is its most eccentric star. He is the king of the Exóticos, the genderbending cross-dressing wrestlers who fight prejudice as much as their opponents in this macho-dominated sport.
Marie Losier
After training as an acrobat (trapezes, beams, parallel bars…) in her youth, then as a contemporary dancer and a tap dancer, Marie Losier studied literature at the Nanterre University and painting at the School of Fine Arts in New York. She directed several avant-garde portraits of filmmakers, musicians and composers, such as Alan Vega, Jonas Mekas and Genesis P-Orridge.
