Peaches fought against gender stereotypes for over two decades. She campaigned for LGBTQIA+ rights and became an underground star in the pop industry. However, their music and performances have long since entered the mainstream.
The 102-minute documentary “Teaches for Peaches” by Philipp Fussenegger and Judy Landkammer is dedicated to the electroclash musician from all angles. The film features rarely seen archive footage and footage from the “Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour.”
Peaches doesn’t give a damn about norms
Images from rehearsals and live performances show how important the radical queer feminist believes the combination of music, theater, visual art and performance is in order to convey her polarizing message. Some may find their frank language and visual drama liberating and powerful, others as exaggerated or shocking. But this emotional impact is part of their aesthetic.
Anyone who has always wanted to know why the singer presents (her) sexuality less as a breaking of taboos, but rather as a means of questioning power relations, gender roles and norms, will receive an impressive answer in “Teaches for Peaches”.
“Teaches for Peaches” runs on October 10, 2025 at 10:35 p.m. on Arte and is available until January 7, 2026 Media library of the station.
