On July 19 at 9:00 PM, we invite you to Komuna Warszawa Theatre for an open-air screening of the film Peaches Goes Bananas directed by Marie Losier – one of the most intriguing films in the Main Competition of the 24th WATCH DOCS Festival.

PEACHES GOES BANANAS: A daring portrait of the feminist electro-punk icon

Peaches is one of the most influential artists on the feminist music scene. She started out in cramped basement clubs, and just a few years later, was filling massive concert halls and drawing huge crowds to festival stages. This rise to prominence was fueled by her radical yet infectiously catchy songs and electrifying, irony-laced, erotically subversive performances. She became known for boldly dismantling social stereotypes and taboos surrounding sex and the role of women in society.

Marie Losier has created an intimate portrait of this multifaceted and fearless artist. But intimacy here has nothing to do with sexuality or the body—those are subjects Peaches sings, or even screams about, on stage. Instead, the director brings us into spaces and moments that concerts never reveal. In front of the camera, Peaches talks about her family, looks through childhood photos, and shares how she spends time with her boyfriend. The film is at once a high-energy concert chronicle, a raw behind-the-scenes report, and a home video capturing surprisingly ordinary moments in the life of a truly extraordinary person. "It’s a portrait of an artist who never stops performing—even when she’s removing her makeup, unpinning her fake mustache, and heading home. Losier shows Peaches as someone who pairs stage radicalism with everyday tenderness—and it’s precisely this blend that makes her so captivating."
