The Jaws Of All Are Red With Gore
The jaws of all are red with gore explores the classic cartoon series Looney Tunes as an anthology of hunting myths. The show reimagines Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny’s charged relationship, using performance techniques from drag and butoh to reanimate timeless archetypes of hunter and rabbit, predator and prey.

About Silk Worm
Silk Worm’s research-based and interdisciplinary performance work commingles the worlds of drag, theater, and dance while focusing (so far) stubbornly on trans history and life. She has shown her work at Berkeley Art Museum, the Cantor Center for the Arts, 2727 California Street, HIT Gallery, h0L0, Fierce! Festival, the Pittsburgh Performance Art Festival, and SAFEhouse for the Arts, among other venues. Before COVID-19 she performed regularly in drag at Bay Area queer bars and co-directed HUSH-HUSH, an event series programming experimental work by local queer and trans artists, with writer Brittany Newell. Silk is known as a very good sport.
