The Iconic Genesis P-Orridge’s Revolutionary Life Celebrated In Documentary Screening At SIFF

They were revolutionary. Genesis P-Orridge, the English singer/songwriter/musician/poet/performance artist and non-binary superstar was a pioneer in so many ways…as the lead vocalist for one of the first industrial bands, Throbbing Gristle and the experimental pop band Psychic TV. But, also as a performance artist and occultist and maybe just a bit of a cult leader, P-Orridge was the type of person who influenced a lot of people over their seven decades of life.

Seattle now gets to check out the new documentary about P-Orridge’s at a Thursday, September 12th screening of the film at SIFF Cinema at the Egyptian on Capitol Hill. “S/He Is Still Her/e – The Official Genesis P-Orridge Documentary” will screen at 7pm with director David Charles Rodriques in attendance. Tickets at the door or at https://www.siff.net/cinema/in-theaters/she-is-still-here
