Human Horse Races Are Real: a chat with Ingrid Victoria

What happens when performance art, absurdity, athleticism, and internet chaos collide in the streets of New Orleans?This week we talk with Ingrid Victoria about the wild world of human horse races — the underground-feeling spectacle where people become jockeys, horses, and maniacs all at once. We get into how these races started, why people are so obsessed with them, the line between art and competition, and what happens when a ridiculous idea suddenly becomes a real cultural event.We also talk New Orleans performance culture, creating experiences people can’t stop talking about, and why the best live events feel a little dangerous, a little stupid, and completely unforgettable.
