2. The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity by Kristoffer Diaz

“Leave everything on the mat.”

The show opens by introducing us to an unconventional wrestling duo. Macedonio Guerra (“Mace”), a Puerto Rican wrestling fanatic (and “jobber” in the ring), finds himself teamed up with Vigneshwar Paduar (“VP”), a Brooklynite of Indian descent. The two have found a unique bond and ambition to fight together, wrestling for fun and for funds. In an electrifying turn of events, they are picked up, and cast as “terrorists” in the ring. The crowd revels in this narrative, forcing audience members to pick up the pieces.

Through Macedonio and Vigneshwar, Playwright Diaz pushes boundaries beyond the wrestling ring — addressing unspoken issues such as racism and politics and their presence within mass media. In this high-voltage play, it’s not just about winning matches but fighting for silenced truths. Buckle up—this striking theatrical experience leaves everything on the mat.
