Heidi and Christian, Born to Run

Here’s just a tiny taste of a brilliant collaboration last night. And Christian said they didn’t even rehearse it!

Heidi Rodewald (co-creator of Passing Strange) joined Christian Gibbs (a member of the PS onstage band) and his band Lucinda Black Bear onstage at the Bell House last night, creating a beautiful PS moment. Gibbs’ take on Born to Run was an inspired reinvention of the Bruce Springsteen classic.

The photos speak for themselves. If we can work out the kinks, a video clip of their performance will also materialize here!
