Perfume Genius joins host Raina Douris

Mike Hadreas, who performs as Perfume Genius, believes that everyone is capable of profound transformation. For Hadreas, this happened through a dance piece he worked on between his 2017 album release and last year’s record, Set My Heart On Fire Immediately. On this Pride Month presentation of the World Cafe, we’ll learn how dancing influenced his new music, about his adventures getting into the occult as a kid – And Perfume Genius performs live.
