Tickets go on-sale Friday, December 13 at 10:00 AM local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets for select shows before the general public beginning Wednesday, December 11 at 10:00 AM local time through Thursday, December 12 at 10:00 PM local time. A new Perfume Genius album of completely unreleased material is due in 2020.  Perfume Genius has spent much of 2019 co-creating and performing inThe Sun Still Burns Here, a collaboration between Hadreas and Seattle-based choreographer Kate Wallich and her company The YC. The show is an evening-length dance and music work and was commissioned by Seattle Theatre Group, The Joyce Theater and Mass MoCA. The Sun Still Burns Here debuted in Seattle and then had multi-night performances at New York City’s Joyce Theater and The Walker Center in Minneapolis. The Sun Still Burns Here heads to Boston for a 2-night run at Boston Premiere on January 17 and 18. Perfume Genius released two of the project’s songs earlier this year, the eight-minute trance-like meditation, “Eye In The Wall,” and the show’s climactic “Pop Song.” Perfume Genius is the critically acclaimed art-pop project of Mike Hadreas. Together with his long-time partner Alan Wyffles, Perfume Genius have released four albums on Matador. The debut record Learning, 2012’s Put Your Back N 2 It, the confronting and defiant Too Bright and his Blake Mills-produced transcendent masterpiece, No Shape. “If you listen to the four Perfume Genius albums in chronological order, you can hear Hadreas healing himself in real time, moving toward an emancipation that seems, suddenly, to have come to pass,” said The New Yorker. “The center of his music has always been a defiant delicacy - a ragged, affirmative understanding of despair.”
