REPERTOIRE

Tales found
I believe that the secret of stories, like life, lies in searching,
to set things in motion. Sometimes you don’t find anything.
That’s the best thing about it because then, when you least
expect it, the stories find you. A selection of stories
that I found … or that found me.

Tales of a wondrous corpse
(popular takes from Tibet)
A young man with a strange task and an extremelytalkative corpse
are the keys to the stories told on the “roof of the world”.
The tales of Ro Ngodup Dorje, the wondrous corpse, reached Tibet
through the Buddhist masters of India. Different versions
have travelled around every region of Tibet, Nepal and India.

Curry and betel
(popular tales from India)
It is impossible to cover the wealth of ethnic groups,
religions, languages and landscapes in India in a single session.
I shall make do with telling you just a few stories; Tamil, Telugu, Bengali
and Punjabi tales that grow with each generation.

Disturbing tales
There are universal fears and individual fears. They make your hair stand on end
or make you laugh. Nothing, of course, about fear can be taken for granted.

Love and circumstances
These are simply tales of two (or of three, of four, etc.) Perhaps
they are about love or something akin to it. As Pessoa said:
“It is not love but its circumstances that matter”..
