Concert au réfectoire à 16h30
Maureen Dor

Everybody loves Hervé Vincent: his crooning voice, his lovely velvet tux, and his schmaltzy songs for women with blue-rinsed hair.

But what the residents of the assisted-living residences he is constantly touring love most is his prize raffle. You can even win a kiss form the star himself! Lydia – his not-quite-spinster-aged daughter, who is also his make-up person and stage manager – came up with the idea. And it wasn’t only to make their old fans happy. The father and daughter are hoping their elderly, fragile fans might write them into their wills!

But nothing’s ever enough for the ambitious young woman…

Their modern odyssey is going to be upended when they inherit an old stuffed dog, Biscotte. When the father’s Zen, upbeat approach to life meets the daughter’s bitter, vengeful rage, explosive sparks fly.

A bitter-sweet comedy about parent/child relationships and the way we look at senior citizens, seen through the prism of the surprise-filled journey of a crooner father and his indignant daughter – one seeking to revive his former fame, the other looking for a more radiant future.
