In this award-winning and affecting documentary on cutting-edge artists in love, groundbreaking
performance artist and musical pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle,
Psychic TV) and soul mate Lady Jaye undertake daring physical transformations, known
as the “Pandrogyne” project. In their most risky, ambitious, and subversive performance
of their 15 year artistic collaboration and marriage, Genesis begins a series of sex
reassignment surgeries to more closely resemble Lady Jaye —and she follows suit with
her own surgical transformations in an attempt to deconstruct two individual identities
through the creation of an indivisible third.
Genesis’s atypical artistic résumé ranges from hardcore industrial music and collaboration
with Skinny Puppy and Peaches to authoring The Psychic Bible, and recently having
work shown at the Tate Modern in England and being lauded by the Museum of Modern
Art.
Winner of the Teddy for Best Documentary at the 2011 Berlinale.
