'Catch-fetiche,' or voodoo wrestling is a wildly over-the-top Congolese sport where participants fight each other and use magic to try to win the match. It is judged based on three criteria: technique, courage and magic. "The technical wrestlers use their bodily strength, but the fetish wrestlers, they call their ancestors, there are spirits" explains one spectator, Josué Luyaku. To get ready, fighters prepare incantations to use in the ring or commune with their 'spectres' or 'fetishes', animals or objects that they believe to be imbued with magical powers or inhabited by a spirit.
