Violet Chachki has been a fan of the crazy horse cabaret in Paris since the mid 2000s .
When she started doing drag performance in her native Atlanta, Chachki recalls stumbling upon videos of performances like Dita Von Teese commending the crazy house stage, Which is know today as one of the most glamours and devated cabaret in the world.
“I started ripping off the show completely and putting it in the track number in Atlanta. I’m now calling it a respective homeage”. Says Chachki .
The drag star was invited to perform 10 exclusive shows at the iconic venue for Chachki. It was a dream come true since she has been a long time fan of it’s dance and choreography.
Crazy Horse is a celebration of glamour and sexuality . According to her, She was thankful that crazy horse allowed her to fully express herself as a queer artist on-stage.
Chachki worked with serval desiginers to bring glitzy, futuristic designs alive including Disco Daddy, a bedazzler to the star Ludovico de saint sernin, Coperni and more.
“It is a lot of clothing to wear on stage for crazy horse but of course I am taking it off all on stage. The goal of the look is to play into iconic burlesque feel of crazy horse but in an elevated way I wanted to present something fresh especially with drag being so saturated. “
