At Powerhouse Arena in Dumbo: Photographer Livia Corona has documented the Enanitos Toreros, troupes of dwarfs performing as bullfighters in Mexico. In the photo above, a huge photo by Corona dominates a wall at Powerhouse.
The Enanitos Toreros, often ridiculed, are a Mexican cultural tradition dating back to Spain.
To learn more about the Enanitos Toreros, see the video below -- "Bullfighting Little People": the story of the Enanitos Toreros from Aguascalientes as they travel across the American continent.
