THE BALLARD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE
Winner of the Teddy Award for best documentary at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, Marie Losier’s first feature is nothing short of a total triumph.
This gorgeous film follows ground-breaking performance artist and music pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and his wife and collaborator, Lady Jaye Breyer, as they decide to meet each other in the gender-middle by creating a new body, a project they called ‘Creating the Pandrogyne’.
They began the creation of a third sex, undergoing reassignment surgery so each can become the other. In warm and intimate images captured on a handheld camera, Losier crafts a superb collage of interviews, home movies, and performance footage.  Tragically, Lady Jaye died halfway through the filmmaking, leaving a devastated Genesis to carry on the project on her own. Losier kept filming with Genesis, as she struggled to deal with her grief, ultimately making the film a stunning study of love and loss.
