The story

Her work blends the Californian pop culture of her childhood with Alpine traditions such as yodelling and brass bands.
She studied mime at Teatro Dimitri in Ticino, then jazz singing and theatre in Paris.
In 1985, she co-founded the vocal group The Sophisticrats. It played hundreds of concerts in Europe and Africa.
In the 1990s, she worked with pianist George Gruntz and led her own groups Bubble Town and Mrs. Bubble and Bones.
Her albums include Suicidal Yodels in 2007, Black Widow in 2013 and Papito in 2017.
She received the Valais Culture Prize in 2010.
In 2020, the Federal Office of Culture awarded her the Swiss Grand Award for Music, worth CHF 100,000.
This show is presented at Vidy for the first time. It accompanies a book of her photographs, exhibited at Images Vevey in September.
