Episode 16: VASARAASIALAINEN with Bigtop

Caius and Bigtop (Cleveland; he/they/it) unpack one ofBigtop’s signature numbers, a mime performance set to a dynamic instrumental track by avant-garde Finnish band Alamaailman Vasarat. They talk eclectic music libraries, subverting audience expectations, transmasc voice dysphoria (and euphoria), and the many artistic principles you can learn from studying clown. Content warnings: a mention of childhood repression related to Christian conservatism. Special thanks to Dean Heartthrob, Ronnie Wrath, Mizer Malicious, Ocean Unknown, Maine(void), Beck E. Bardoux, Luna Jade, the Twisted Transitioner, Comatose, Marquis Gaylord, the Great Fagliachi, and Lil Bottom! Did you love it? Did you hate it?
