Always as talented and whimsical as when the Rita Mitsouko were two, Catherine Ringer gently closed the interview she gave Emilie Mazoyer after her concert.

The singer sang the credits of her childhood cartoon, "Kiri the Clown", whose lyrics echo life on tour.

INTERVIEW

His voice, still powerful, electrified the audience of the Vieilles Charrues on Friday evening.

The stage beast Catherine Ringer also knew how to be gentle, suddenly offering from the dressing rooms at the microphone of Emilie Mazoyer an a cappella title.

But the singer did not go to draw from the repertoire of Rita Mitsouko that she celebrates on stage.

Against all expectations, it is the credits of the cartoon of his childhood, 

Kiri the clown,

"I am easy on tour because I am focused on this only. I have no domestic problems, cooking, etc ... I am completely carried and everyone is there so that I do not get tired. ", rejoices Catherine Ringer.

"It's a beautiful life too, in the sense that I'm really focused on the action, with a communion side with the public, like in sporting events where everyone is together."

"We will go from city to city, carrying the joy of living"

The singer closes the interview by speaking directly to those who listen to her. "Dear listeners, I will go home, put my things away and continue on my way to Kiri," she explains, before explaining what she was referring to. “When I was a kid, there was the soap opera that was before the 8 pm newspaper, then five minutes cartoon, every day, the same. And at one time it was

 Kiri the clown

.”

Catherine Ringer then begins a cappella the first sentences of the song in the credits. Then pause. "And there, it's really us," she says before resuming the song. "We will go from city to city, carrying the joy of living. Long live the laughing circus! Oh stop there, yes there it is Kiri, Kiri is there!"
