Serge Lama: from adventures to adventures

This musical and biographical show on Serge Lama is one of the beautiful surprises of summer. The production pays tribute to him, weekend plans but without making it a perfect being, a hagiography. Lama is anything but a saint. So we see him being wrong, betraying, doubting, falling, getting up, starting again … and above all, singing. Known tunes (I love you madly, The Red Balloons, Pigalle’s little women), others less known. A show to see, whether you are familiar with the singer or not.
