About the book
For the past 8 years photographer Livia Corona has documented the Enanitos Toreros, troupes of little people performing as bullfighters. She toured and lived with them throughout Mexico and migrant farming communities in the US. A performance combines musical burlesque, lip-sync and bloodless bullfights. Enanitos Toreros present a bona fide family show, understood by their loyal audience as a legitimate performance. This perspective makes this story extraordinary, refreshing, powerful and unexpected.
