CHRISTEENE

Sat 7 Jun 25 120 minutes
CHRISTEENE is a raw spirit of ferocious music, unabashed sexuality, and fiery intimate stank. And coming to Soho Theatre Walthamstow for one night only.

Reports from live shows describe raw and intimate exchanges, distressed choreography, macabre scenes involving butt plugs tied to bouquets of balloons being released from the singer’s ass, wardrobes styled from the forgotten scraps of society, and heated sermons on the state of the world as we know it.

‘…the full power of her voice: a ragged beam of guttural noise that has few peers. Think Tina Turner or Diamanda Galás at full stretch, at the pitch of Slipknot’s Corey Taylor’
Guardian

The artist has collaborated with as well as performed with numerous acclaimed musicians, including Faith No More, Peaches, Fever Ray, John Grant, Kembra Pfahler, Suicide, Roddy Bottum, Tribe 8, Narcissister, Marc Almond, Bronski Beat, and Justin Vivian Bond. Longtime collaborators include award winning filmmaker PJ Raval, along with iconic fashion designer Rick Owens and artist Michèle Lamy. CHRISTEENE has been photographed by Juergen Teller, Katerina Jebb, Matt Lambert and Wolfgang Tillmans, and featured in magazines such as anOther, Noisey, Dazed, Art Forum, Spin, Vice, Numero, The New Yorker, Interview, Man About Town.

Join CHRISTEENE at the afterparty with DJs, Princess Julia & Lewis G Burton until 2am. Advance booking essential, book here.
