![]() ![]() I use the word performer here because not every drag artist is a drag queen. LG: Sassica Rabbit and Ryta Tale are well-known performers in the Viennese drag scene. My drag is all about being fun, bubbly, girly, entertaining, and I’m known for my comedy mixes I do on stage. And how would I describe my drag? It’s a bit over the top, it’s a bit milfy, and it’s just fun. ![]() I’m doing drag since 2016, so I’m doing it a bit longer than some of the others here in the room. SR: My name is Sassica Rabbit, and I’m a drag queen from Vienna. So, I think drag is an art form that knows no limits. So, men turn into women, women turn into men, or maybe women turn into even more “woman”, or being an over-feminised version of themselves. RT: I think it’s a form of expressing yourself. So, I want to impersonate some sort of woman in that sense. For me personally, it’s just the drag queen of it all. SR: Well, drag for me is just an expression of being yourself and, like, to express your art, your art form. Today I’m joined by Sassica Rabbit and Ryta Tale for this episode: German is a drag. I’m Luke Green and this is Yellow of the Egg, the podcast where the German language is the eyes of the face. So with all that being said, enough intro stuff, let’s crack on with the show. Check the shownotes for a heads-up on those. I’ll put links and more information in the shownotes and on the website, please do take a look to get a fuller picture.Īnd a quick content warning: we use some words and slurs that some might find offensive. ![]() If something isn’t mentioned in this episode, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or it’s not valid, we simply only have very limited time to talk about some topics to do with drag and the language surrounding it. Drag can be performed and enjoyed by women, men, cisgender people, transgender people, nonbinary people – literally everyone and anyone can do drag. There are so many styles of drag, so many different people do drag, we have drag kings, queens, monsters, you name it. Before we get going though, it’s important to stress here, perhaps more so than in other episodes, that we can really only scratch the surface here. In this episode I talk to two drag artists from Vienna about what drag is, what language is used to describe it, and their own experiences as drag performers in Austria. Despite these attempts to push drag down, drag is becoming more and more mainstream and, as a result, more and more visible, and with it, the language of drag. Right now, the drag scene in Vienna is experiencing a period of real blossoming on the one hand, but it’s also under threat, as the right wing is trying hard to frame drag as a danger. We talked about German in and around the queer community in a previous episode, and in this episode we’re going to dive deeper into the language surrounding one particular part of that community. Language touches every facet of our lives, and every social group and community will have its own idiosyncrasies. I’m really excited to be back, we’ve got some really great topics in the pipeline, including today’s one.
