Wrestival

A festival within a festival dedicated to wrestling, Wrestival is a quintessential ‘only at Vault’ affair. It’s not just literal bouts of the sport, but art that incorporates and responds to it. So we have ‘Fist Club – Beyond Vaulterdome’, a night of ‘queer wrestling excellence’ with drag king comperes; ‘NHSmackdown’, which is artist Lawless’s autobiographical show about their life as a queer wrestler and NHS worker; and ‘Mummy Vs’ (pictured), which incorporates actual live wrestling from actual live wrestlers to tell a story about the clash a wrestler and new mum feels between her identities.
