Weaving together exclusive archival gems with dynamic tour footage capturing the transformative journey of Merrill Nisker into the internationally acclaimed cultural powerhouse Peaches.
Filmed during The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour in 2022, from the inception of the stage show to the rigorous rehearsals and riveting performances, the film provides an intimate look at the inner workings of a tour led by this beloved and globally celebrated icon.
As a feminist musician, producer, director and performance artist, Peaches has spent over two decades challenging gender stereotypes, solidifying her status alongside pop and music industry icons.
Her fearless originality has challenged social norms, dismantled stereotypes, and confronted patriarchal power structures. Through biting wit, she advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights and tackles issues of gender and sexual identity, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture.
Following this screening, there will be a ScreenTalk with Peaches, hosted by Bishi.
