Darren Lynn Bousman’s 2008 cult classic Repo! The Genetic Opera is back at The Frida, brought to life with a live shadowcast performance by our resident Repo! performance troupe Addicted To The Knife!

Note: this performance is being recorded for an eventual 4K blu ray re-release. All guests will be asked to sign a standard video release form prior to entering the auditorium, and may appear in the video!

Join us as the costumed players of Addicted To The Knife bring director Darren Lynn Bousman’s dark fantasy to life! Repo! The Genetic Opera is a rock opera set in a dystopian future where a megacorporation, GeneCo, provides organ transplants for a society ravaged by organ failures. Those who cannot keep up with their payments face the terrifying fate of having their organs repossessed by Repo Men. The story follows Shilo Wallace (Alexa Vega), a young girl with a rare blood disease, who uncovers a dark family secret: her father, Nathan Wallace (Anthony Head), leads a double life as a Repo Man!

Featuring an ensemble cast including Paul Sorvino, Sarah Brightman, and Paris Hilton, all of whom deliver powerful musical performances that blend horror, drama, and dark humor, Repo! The Genetic Opera quickly developed a dedicated cult following for its unique style and bold storytelling. The film’s soundtrack, featuring original songs that range from rock to operatic ballads, complement the film’s elaborate gothic visuals and set it apart from more conventional musicals.
