The Red Rabbit Duo (individually known as Gala Varo and Génesis Faux) are Mexican drag performers and contestants on the second season of the YouTube show La Más Draga.
About[]
Red Rabbit Duo was born as a project that allowed the mixture of scenic disciplines, including the circus, with the art of drag. Red Rabbit Duo's specialty is precisely the aerial arts of the contemporary circus combined with a very extravagant fashion.[6]
Drag Name Origin[]
- Red Rabbit Duo: Gala and Génesis wanted a name akin to Charlie's Angels, with their characters being secret agents. They chose Red Rabbit to represent the supposed boss of the two, with Duo being added to showcase their duality.[7]
- Gala Varo: The name Gala comes from the wife of Salvador Dalí, Gala Dalí, while Varo comes from the Spanish artist, Remedios Varo. Gala Varo considers both of them as huge inspirations for her character.[8]
- Génesis Faux: Génesis came up with her name during a drag workshop. She went with Génesis (which also means creation) to represent the beginning of her drag journey. Faux comes from everything on her being fake.[9]
