Episode Details

Welcome to episode 7 of A View from the Box - The Podcast. Today I have the absolute joy of chatting with Denim and Pythia.

Pythia is a drag queen and performer based in Montreal, Canada, originally from Greece. She is known for her appearance on Canada's Drag Race Season 2 and RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars.  She has a background in theatre set, costume and makeup design as well as photography and graphic arts. Drag combines her love for fashion, history, pop culture, storytelling and makeup into one, allowing her to create unique experiences through her performances and mystify audiences around the world.

Denim was born and raised in Prince Edward Island and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Intermedia and Cyber Arts from Concordia University in 2023. Drag allows Emerson to combine his passions of performance, fashion, makeup, video, and textile art into one medium. Emerson’s drag persona, Denim, is best known for being on Canada's Drag Race Season 4, showcasing her otherworldly looks and performances. As an autistic trans man, Denim seeks to broaden the boundaries of drag, making it more inclusive for neurodiverse and trans communities. Denim manifested from the hyper-feminine persona Emerson saw as a “gender performance” before his medical transition. Through Denim, Emerson explores identity as fluid, creating something physical and tangible from imposed gender and neurotypical stereotypes.

We chat about what it's like to be on Drag Race, how the two of them started working together, and what we can expect from Orraculum.
