Joseph Gorgoni, from A to Zouc
It's no longer a mystery, Marie-Thérèse Porchet is not née Bertholet, but Gorgoni, without a skirt or purse or wig. Joseph tells his story and that of his character. The one who has played Marie-Thérèse for two decades discusses the women of his life, the ones who inspired him, including his grandma, his boss, and one of his idols: Zouc. Without forgetting Dalida, Nina Hagen, Madonna, or Diane Dufresne, who contributed to the fact that at eight years old, when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, Joseph replied without hesitation: "singer."
