About this Event
Me & Mr. Jones: My Intimate Relationship with David Bowie explores the lifelong “soul love” that Brooklyn-based performer Raquel Cion has for David Bowie’s artistry and David Jones's humanity. Cion's personal stories and the deep cuts of Bowie's diverse catalog rocket us through the inner space of this "half witch, half cabaret performer" (The New York Times): growing up as an outsider, navigating the celestial realms of love, mid-life crisis, loss, and creatively moving through cancer.
Me & Mr. Jones is being presented in association with The David Bowie World Fan Convention.

"The music, the stories, the costumes (!), the humanity being offered by Raquel Cion during her show Me And Mr. Jones are all a part of what makes her special but, more to the point, they are what makes art and the ability of art to illuminate a special part of our existence as humans." Broadway World
