BUREAU OF LOST CULTURE – Genesis P-Orridge (09/11/2024)

“Genesis P Orridge was a performance artist, Neo Pagan, Industrial music legend, the co-founder of COUM, Throbbing Gristle and psychic T andVan arch provocateur. He was described as transgressive and blasphemous, accused of being a Satanist and of sexually abusing children (which was a lie – in fact he was a loving father and grandfather). He could be both very kind and very alarming.

Genesis later became infamous with attempts to unite as a “pandrogyne”, or single entity, with partner Lady Jaye through the use of extreme surgical body modification intended to make them physically resemble one another.

I sat down with David Charles Rodrigues director of a new film S/HE IS STILL HERE – to talk about Genesis’s deeply countercultural life.” – Stephen
