SUPLEX

If gender is a performance, then wrestling is the Oscars.

Meet Danu, a trans woman who picked a terrible name, as she traverses the sissy, cissy world of wrestling, confronts shadows from her past, and tries to excel in the sport she absolutely loves, despite it not loving her back.

JAXBANDED THEATRE finally explores "The Trans Issue" in sports once and for all, asking the question: do you still care if it’s all fake anyway?

Performed as part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2026

Supported by Smock Alley Theatre and Field;Arts
