Wyrd War brings S/He Is Still Her/e: The Official Genesis P-Orridge Documentary to the Hollywood Theatre for its Oregon theatrical premier on the fifth anniversary of Genesis P-Orridge’s death in 2020. Flowers for the stage are encouraged.
Chaos magician, cultural trickster and sacred changeling of the highest and most perplexing order, P-Orridge lived a "cut-up" life, illuminated by the practical application of subversive literary techniques developed by T.S. Eliot, Tristan Tzara, Brion Gysin and William Burroughs. At age four, P-Orridge experienced adrenal gland damage that has been said to have resulted in an infinitesimal but permanent psychedelic “trip” caused by chemical compounds resembling LSD. This was only the beginning. A pioneer of industrial music in its purest forms, P-Orridge and his family were persecuted by the British media at the height of the Satanic Panic and driven to exile in the redwood forests of California. In this authorized but extremely 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 issues of societal/media control that are more critical than ever in 2025. Executive Produced by trans activist and AGAINST ME! singer Laura Jane Grace.
