Burlesque clown Ruby Slickeur is bringing their queer to the stage one show at a time. Through bright, bold characters, Ruby presents a playful expose of sensuality and gender exploration. Using storytelling as their tool for expression, Ruby's performances consciously connect with today's thriving queer community.
With a parallel persona as Drag King Carl Kunt, Ruby has spent the past decade touring around Canada becoming known for their raucously messy acts. Whipped cream, fake blood, and outfits that shout Sass, Ruby uses their love of clowning to entertain a new frame of mind. Reflecting on the narratives they wish to share, Ruby talks with Sassy Souls host Cyd Eva about bringing their femme presence to the cabaret arts scene. While reminiscing on the youth programs that shaped their access to theatre, dance, and performance.
Tune into this podcast episode to hear how Ruby's politically aware upbringing shaped their approach to art, making way for conversations about gender and sexuality. As a nonbinary person, Ruby highlights the importance of creating inclusive spaces for people to exist freely. Celebrating the community they have been a part of and the safety it provides for personal growth.
