Erasure: The World Tournament

8 January 2021
7.30pm–9pm
The Substation Theatre
$8 for audience (Peatix)

This is the world's first Eraser Wrestling event. Professional Eraser Wrestlers across the globe are invited to compete for the title of World Champion of Eraser Wrestling!  

Those of us who grew up in the '80s and '90s would be familiar with flag erasers. Some of us may even have collected the range of rubber erasers with different flags printed on them. Eraser Wrestling Matches may be a thing of the past, but the world in the present is still caught up with complex geographical and political conflicts. If these conflicts between nations could be navigated and negotiated through an Eraser Wrestling Match, what kind of world would that be? After all, who is to say which nation is better than another?
