Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been a key figure of the underground music scene for over 30 years. A cult artist in prepunk and post-punk groups Throbbing Gristle (1975 to 1981) and Psychic TV (1981 to present), he is considered to be the father of industrial music and a pioneer of acid house and techno. Not content with breaking new ground in music, Genesis has also used his position at the limits of society to challenge the very fundamentals of biology.

Transformation is, indeed, central to his life. He became a she to resemble his beloved Lady Jaye, now deceased. With peroxide hair, full lips and gold teeth, Genesis does not go unnoticed. A unique life, modeled on his other, Lady Jaye, who remains an integral part of himself. Without subscribing to any movement but living life as the ultimate experiment, he has made his body a work of art.

A kaleidoscopic collection of moving surfaces, composed of interviews (Orlan, Peaches, Peter Christopherson), role plays, concerts and his day to day life, comes together to paint a multi-faceted profile of this pioneer of industrial music and in doing so, exposes the abundant yet inherently elusive nature of his creativity.

  • This was an awesome insight to a brilliant artist. Highly recommended for any TG or PTV fans

  • saw the film at fidmarseille, that's one of the most beautiful love story one can tell, the director made a great work, more compliments, (written on my son youtube account...)

  • I would stress that this song - I Love You, I Know - is recorded and mixed by Bryin Dall (Thee Majesty). Michael Gira re-mixed antoher song: New York Story. Dall personally explains it.

  • @milbury55 thanks for your message. i can't wait to see this film, and to see this powerful choice of life and love: two bodies, two minds, two artistic languages in a third big creation.

  • Was glad to have worked with Genesis and it was a pleasure to have known Lady Jaye. Jackie was a great and humble human being, sadly missed by thee.
