Following the success of Lydia Lunch's french book debut PARADOXIA, this video follows her on tour with highlights from each concert, plus rare on-the road footage. Lydia offers us a vicarious banquet of the sadistic and sexual obsessions of contemporary culture through her writings and performances fused with the un-easy listening music performed live by composer JOE BUDENHOLZER & horn player TERRY EDWARDS (from ¨MADNESS¨) durring their travels to MARSEILLE, LYON, EVREUX, & NANTES.
