Patua Nou
Dominique Roodthooft
Le Corridor
Did you know? The Patua – storytellers from West Bengal – paint scrolls on which they illustrate tales or poems. Then, they unroll their images which they interpret in melodic form while pointing to the story. In Patua Nou, Dominique Roodthooft adopts the pictorial narrative in the form of a meander through several stations to draw new stories related to exile. They are set to music by Pierre Kissling and sung by young actors.
While Patua Nou echoes contemporary migrations, it moves away from the fear or sadness that prevents us from thinking. Its joy and poetry call for an enlightened understanding of exile as a vital and universal movement towards elsewhere.
The patachitras (songs) are sung, chanted and told by actor-singers in different languages: mainly that of the country where they were born (French). But some refrains are sung in the original language of their family before their exile. The spectators receive a small booklet that summarizes the content of the song.
