Ex Machina and Flip Fabrique burst into the world of wrestling through their respective disciplines; a decisive match between titans of theater and circus staged by Robert Lepage. SLAM!

The language and codes of wrestling will be deconstructed and then reconstructed to revisit the genre. In this hyper-theatrical show, the acrobats embody a whole gallery of characters inside and outside the ring, while exploiting their circus skills. SLAM! A wrestling gala on steroids.
