Sasha Velour, "Praying" | "We're Here" Season Four Finale

The PROUDEST performance of my life.

Thank you Kesha for writing this amazing song (“Praying”) from such a personal and powerful place . It continues to take on new meaning and resonance!🌈

Based on the “magic” costume reveals of medieval church theater (which in turn were inspired by ancient queer spiritual shows) I wanted to use my dress as a tool for storytelling. The red dress represents the judgement placed on so many people by hate (and often religion), and as it lifts it reveals the purity and truth that exists behind the lies. If we can just be seen as we truly are, we can refract new possibilities for light, love, and joy all around us.

Watch We're Here Season 4 on HBO/Max. So grateful to the huge team who made this possible.

Concept and direction by me
Costuming: Diego Montoya and Marco Morante (based on Balenciaga)
Video: Cosette Pin and me
