S/HE IS STILL HER/E: The Official Genesis P-Orridge Documentary
Genesis P-Orridge — pioneering musician, transgressive artist, spiritual explorer and gender revolutionary — lived their art to the extreme. In her last act on Earth, P-Orridge decides to bare it all.
Genesis P-Orridge lived their art to the extreme. A pioneering musician, avant-garde artist, spiritual explorer and gender revolutionary, Genesis has been featured in films and videos, but never the full story… never this intimate… until now. In this authorized but raw and personal documentary, award-winning director David Charles Rodrigues (GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH) documents the final year of P-Orridge’s existence as they grapple with mortality and, in the process, reveal the many sacrifices and ultimate payoffs of a life that transcended boundaries. Featuring William Burroughs, Brion Gyson, Timothy Leary, Alice Genese (Psychic TV), David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets), Nepalese monks, African witch doctors, and a special cameo by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, plus never-before-seen archival treasures, including performances from Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.

Featuring Genesis P-Orridge, Caresse P-Orridge, Genese P-Orridge, Alice Genese, Paul “Bee” Hampshire, David J Haskins, Clarity Haynes & Benjamin Tischer.
