Description

Welcome to The Violet Vulture!

Today, we've got a long-awaited conversation for you all: a chat with the incomparable Red Rum (they/them)!

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• How a project entitled “Death by Design” helped birth the Red Rum we know and love today
• They dig into the first time they ever witnessed burlesque
• The importance of refusing to dilute their artistic vision and the pressures to limit when to be spooky
• We reflect on how and why we're committed to confronting beauty, youth, and decay in our art
• Why it's crucial not to underestimate your audience (people can surprise you!) and confront their biases and expectations
• We explore high-brow vs. low-brow horror
• Plenty of time is spent reflecting on magical practices as two recovering Catholics with an affinity for talking to the dead

And we reflect on what's coming next within the world of Red Rum Performance Art.

If you're ready for a few ghost stories and a candid chat with an artist who's unapologetically a little peepshow/creepshow/freakshow, this one is for you.
