THURSDAY, 11 April: The Ballad Of Genesis And Lady Jaye
Pacific Cinematheque presents film festival circuit darling The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye, an intimate look at the unusual love affair between Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Jacqueline “Lady Jaye” Beyer. Marie Losier’s provocative, intimate, and highly affecting documentary follows the two as they embarked on a body-modification project they called Pandrogeny, undergoing plastic surgeries (including his-and-her breast implants) to more closely resemble one another and merge into a single unified entity. Visit http://www.cinematheque.bc.ca for more information.

SUNDAY, 14 April: The Bomb-Itty of Errors
Shakespeare meets hip-hop in this musical “ad-rap-tation” in what our reviewer called “a high energy, kick-ass hip-hop take on Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors“. Retaining much of the Bard’s original text the show features a live DJ on stage and original music by Vancouver’s Anami Vice. Visit http://www.bombittyoferrors.com for more information.
