In Le bruit des chrysanthèmes, Michel Henritzi accompanies with lapsteel Yôko Higashi, former student of the famous Akiko Motofuji and now dancer and singer for Masaki Iwana. This calligraphic performance wrote on a noisy canvas, fed with butō, summons shadows, ghosts and contorted yokai.

Le bruit des chrysanthèmes will be preceded by Walking in the shadow. Michel Henritzi's electric guitar, between abstract blues and folk music accompanies a slide show by the artist Kumiko Karino, made of photographs of a crepuscular Japan, familiar and melancholic. A musical journey across Tokyo, Okinawa and Kyoto streets.
