About

PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD


Fremont, USA. 1940s. A boy receives a palm reading from a psychic. The prophecy predicts his life’s fate:

1) He will marry a woman with strawberry-blonde hair.
2) His first two children will be boys.
3) His daughters will form a world-famous rock band.

When the first two come true, he makes the third a reality.

Part tribute act, part fever dream, part feminist reclamation, Philosophy of the World is about The Shaggs. It’s about power, patriarchy, band t-shirts and the best and worst album ever made.

Ridiculed then revered, The Shaggs defied categorisation. Reclaiming a narrative controlled by men, IN BED WITH MY BROTHER twists history into a sticky, sweaty, searing rebellion.
