THE GODMOTHER
Bowie as Bowie
A one-woman show written and performed by Laura Segré, directed by Claire Vidoni
We all deserve our fifteen minutes of fame. For Hermione, it's being Bowie. Even if just for a day.
Hermione Lebeau has always adored David Bowie, her favorite singer. In her secret space, she fantasizes, imitates him, talks to him.
Until the day she is called upon for a special mission: to give a lecture about her idol…
How far will this passion take Hermione?
