Ears immersed and eyes dyed

“Ears Immersed and eyes dyed” is the first documentary by Jean-Sebastien Héry, a Frenchman of Bordeaux origin who spent more than twenty years in China.

During an artistic residency organized by the French Embassy in China, the musician conducted interviews with each member of the orchestra in order to get to know them and compose music for them.

Every meal, every moment of rest or creation is an opportunity for conversations between this French musician and the heirs of age-old music.”
