Midget Bullfighters

Ah, midgets. So tiny. So strange. So unwilling to be used as bowling balls. You gotta love their enigmatic ways. Of course, these days it’s not enough to just be some run of the mill midget. The people want more. Midget bullfighters? Now we’re talking. Mexico-born photographer Livia Corona spent eight years hanging out with Enanitos Toreros, a tiny troupe of little people bullfighters, and powerHouse has collected her pix into a book: Enanitos Toreros. “This evening, in your town, the Enanitos Toreros have arrived with a show that will kill you. But kill you with laughter.” The powerHouse slideshow is here, and there are more images on Corona’s website. Relatedly, I’ve been on the set of three midget porn movies. But I suppose that’s a story for another time.
