Every Sunday night high in the Bolivian Andes, women of Aymara descent wrestle men at El Alto's Multicultural Center for twenty to thirty dollars a night. Women were introduced to the wild Mexican style "Lucha Libre" (wrestling) in 2001 by La Paz promoters who wanted to boost slumping attendance numbers among male fighters. The indigenous women, known as Cholita's, free style wrestle in layers of petticoats, embroidered shawls and street shoes, eventually became the main draw and together they are called "Los Titanes". To a large extent, the bouts are choreographed but injuries are not uncommon. Despite heavy hands of male opponents, the women feel empowered participating and feel they are subverting gender cliches.
