WRESTLING GROUND

Rajashri shahu Kashbag wrestling ground is on west side of Keshvrao Bhosale Drama theatre..It is used for wrestling competitions surrounding the main westing area there is open space for 15 to 2000 spectactors. There are total five gates for entering into this wrestling ground. On the east side of the ground there is a big stage of 35*35 size.In addition to wrestling competition big song programs or programs like cine artist performances are arranged on this ground. Combining sporting prowess and fabulous music, the promising "Wrestling Ground" (L'APPEL DES ARENES) dramatically demonstrates the cultural importance of wrestling in Senegal. The atmosphere is highly charged from the get-go as 19-year-old Nalla (Abdoul Aziz Ndiaye) is chased by several muggers in the daylit streets of his well-to-do Dakar suburb. Wrestling champ Andre (Moustapha Gueye), fixing his truck near the crime scene, intervenes in the melee and intimidates the thieves into returning Nalla's property.The film's second half is both enchanting and edifying with its representations and explanations of the importance of spirituality, music and tradition in Senegalese wrestling.
