Chatimbanque
Since the Big-Bare-Butts vanished, the roads of the world have a music all their own. The trees whistle, the sand dances, the waves join in chorus. At least, that is what those who roam the world to sing its praises say: the Chatimbanques.
Introduced from their earliest age to the melodies of life, the Chatimbanques master the key notion of their art very early: Resonance. Using their voice, their instruments or anything they find useful, they can bring a smile to whoever needs one, and even see through bodies to look straight at people's emotions.
Resonance is usually passed down by a parent, but sometimes a kitten wakes one morning hearing the world differently. No one knows where this awakening comes from, but one thing is certain: the kitten's life is never the same again. Chatimbanques are drawn to open spaces and discovery, and often travel every road to listen to the melodies the world offers. They love returning to places they have already passed through, to tell new stories and let new harmonies be heard.
Capturing your audience

The Chatimbanque has packed in their bag: a Harmonichat, a shakeable pouch full of seeds, a tuning fork to retune regularly, a notebook of scores.
