The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye is a documentary film, directed by Marie Losier and released in 2011.[1] The film is a portrait of influential transgender musician and performance artist Genesis P-Orridge and their partner Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge (born Jacqueline Mary Breyer[2]), focusing in particular on the Pandrogyny project of plastic surgery and body modification that they both undertook to become more similar to each other in appearance.[3]

The film had its theatrical premiere in February 2011 at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival,[4] where it won the Teddy Award for best LGBTQ-related documentary film.[5]
