A film documenting the transformation of Genesis P-Orridge – instigator and musician for industrial music forefathers Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV – into a carbon copy of his long-term lover and partner 'Lady Jaye', by a series of surgeries. The original Lady Jaye died in 2007 of a heart condition, and similarly there is no trace left of the man Genesis once was – a man christened 'Neil Andrew Megson' many moons ago.

Presented by Speakeasy Cinema, Stuart Grant from Australian postp-punk band Primitive Calculators will hold an extended Q&A with Genesis P-Orridge following the screening. 

"Some feel like a man trapped in a woman’s body, others like a woman trapped in a man’s body. The pandrogyne says, I just feel trapped in a body. The body is simply the suitcase that carries us around. Pandrogyny is all about the mind, consciousness." – Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
