Breaking Taboo - Recalling the Spirit of Leigh Bowery's London

In that mid-80s moment, between the Blitz Kids and the Acid apocalypse, London's underground lit a final fuse.

From the ruins of punk and the shimmer of glam came a queer eruption of style, sex and surreal spectacle. At the centre was Leigh Bowery and his club Taboo, but the spirit belonged to many.

In Breaking Taboo, 22 voices channel the rise and devastating fall of this new generation of artists and visionaries for whom identity was performance, fashion was resistance - and the nightclub their battlefield.
