We will have the honor of having her as stage manager and point of reference for the two evenings of shows at the theater!
Bold, ironic, mischievous and whimsical.
A chameleon, insightful and silent….
Known as “the tattooed lady” or “FreakGirl” precisely because she has dedicated most of her career to beautifying her body with colors. She says: “It might be a choice considered excessive by some or fascinating by others… what is certain for me is that without my tattoos I would feel naked and embarrassed!”
