April 13, 2023
The live show The Residents’ God in 3 Persons Live will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc April 21 from MVD Entertainment Group and Cryptic Corp.
The piece, which riginally premiered in 2020 at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, features elaborate projections created by world renowned video artist John Sanborn, as well as a live six piece musical ensemble and three additional live performers. This video of God in 3 Persons was shot at the newly remodeled Presidio Theater in San Francisco and directed by John Sanborn; it was directed for performance by Travis Chamberlain; music director was Joshua Brody; primary designer was Leigh Barbier; the producer was Steve Saporito.
Presented from the point of view of Mister X, the quintessential unreliable narrator, God in 3 Persons relates the story of his involvement with a pair of conjoined twin faith healers. As the increasingly improbable story unfolds, ending with Mister X’s destruction of the mysterious Holy Union, the audience never knows how much of the dubious tale is fact, fiction or the fading reminisces of an aging Lothario. Operatic in its vision and profound in its implications, God in 3 Persons examines the controversial concepts of difference and diversity, while also passionately revealing the secret soul of gender identity.
