Thorgy Thor: A pioneering drag queen and her violin

Available for over a year

Thorgy Thor’s drag name actually comes from her Norwegian ski-jumping, Olympic medallist grandfather, Thor. And that name has taken her from tiny gay bars in Brooklyn to sell-out shows in theatres around the US where she now performs violin with a full orchestra. Thorgy has spent decades trying to bring together these two loves: classical music and drag. Our reporter Nick de la Canal joins the pioneering drag queen at one of her performances.
