An interview for a French national television progamme, “Les Voyages de Nicky”
Suzumaru Tachibana, Leader of the Tachibana Koryumaru Gekidan – Suzugumi, and Shishimaru Kabuto, Young Leader of the Gekidan Shachi, appeared on the programme at the Asakusa Mokubakan Hall.
A few days before the interview, the French programme’s MC, Nicky Doll (a French drag queen, a television personality and a musician), saw a poster of the performance in front of the Mokubakan Hall and made an offer to do the interview.
Despite short notice, Suzumaru and Shishimaru wanted to prepare a surprise for the programme and danced to the tune of ‘Au Champs-Elysées’, to which Nicky Doll and the film crew reacted extremely favourably.
It was a wonderful time of cultural exchange.
