(The Wind of the Reeds)
This performance is a musical and improvised journey to the junction of the Silk Road and the Middle East. The whole journey is marked by many stops, both sonic and visual. Electronics and video bathe the room in a magical atmosphere. The reed, at the origin of many instruments, holds the place of honor here, represented by the clarinet, the accordion and the sheng.
