Peaches screens new musical, penis pyrotechnics standard
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 20 September 2012
Oh lord. ‘Fuck The Pain Away’ iconoclast Peaches has just premiered the on-screen version of her new semi-autobiographical musical, ‘Peaches Does Herself’, at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. Soundtracked by 22 of the singer’s greatest hits, the ‘anti-jukebox’ fantasy was first seen on stage at Berlin’s Hebel Theatre last October.
Scripted by and starring Peaches, it features formation dancing, combustible sex organs, and this synopsis: “It begins with a philosophical lecture that is rudely interrupted by Peaches, who is spurred on by the advice of a 65 year old stripper to transform into a musician with magical sexual powers. As the story takes the shape of an operetta, Peaches’ popularity grows and she seeks to gratify her fans’ desires by becoming transsexual. She falls in love with a beautiful she-male, but when her heart is broken she must dig deep to find out what she desires and who she truly is”.
So that’s nice. And here’s Peaches doing… well, Peaches in the film’s official trailer:
She has also shared with Spinner, amongst other things, a desire that either Snoop Lion or actress Tina Fey sponsor a full-scale theatrical tour of the show. Here she is talking about that, and the complications of designing safe and effective “exploding boobs”.
