www.albertovaltellina.it/port...
Parvathy Baul viene invitata per un periodo di residenza presso il Monastero del Carmine a Bergamo, da Teatro tascabile di Bergamo, Festival Danza Estate e Associazione Contemporary Locus. Seguo il lavoro di Parvathy e organizzo un breve e intenso incontro/intervista a cui invito Antonietta Fusco di TTB. Antonietta e Francesca Ceccherini di Contemporary Locus hanno fatto da “assistenti” d’eccezione a Parvathy Baul, che durante i dieci giorni a Bergamo ha dipinto un murale, ha presentato due spettacoli di canti e danze Baul all’interno del chiostro, ha tenuto un workshop di tre giorni e ha presentato e spiegato al pubblico la sua opera, proponendo una danza Baul.
Meraviglioso incontro.
Il film ha appena vinto l’Holden Village Film Festival (17-21 febbraio 2020), Festival piccolissimo che si tiene in una comunità fra le Montagne Rocciose nello stato di Washington, Stati Uniti.
Baul are singers, dancers, artists, philosophers from West Bengal. In many villages Baul ashrams are hosted, in which they live studying, singing and begging for alms. Daughter of a middle-class family, Parvathy Baul choose to became a Baul when sixteen, refusing a regular training in school, following her Guru Sanatan Das Baul, who initiated her in the Baul. Parvathy today performs Baul song, dance and paintings all over the world, she is part of Odin Teatret’s International School of Theatre Anthropology. Baul is listed in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
I share ten days whith Parvathy, I meet her while painting and performing as a guest of Teatro tascabile di Bergamo, in the cloister where the group live and work.

Oof. When she was asked on being a female baul, and her response that baul is genderless, she had my heart. It's time we gave artists unfiltered recognition, and not through the lens of gender.

She has an extra ordinary voice.

Being bengali, i can understand very emotions from her. I am so much overwhelmed. I am really thankful to the God that bengali is my mother tongue.

She has a great capability to explain Baul traditions outside her country. We miss a lot, of course, but what arrives is really intense, deep and clever.

@@albertovaltellina5579 I understand that though our philosophical world is same, we divided by language barrier in this society. I am so grateful that you have came across her and managed to see the truth from her view. There are many bual singers in bengal, who unlearned the conventional books and saw the world with there own view and created many masterpieces. God bless 🤍 🙏

C'erano poeti simili ai Baul anche da noi, i Dimandoni in Sardegna. Altri poeti ambulanti, mendicanti come i Baul, che giravano l'Italia, con una grande tensione spirituale, ma sono tradizioni quasi del tutto perdute - quasi del tutto, non del tutto. E comunque pare che nessuno le voglia ricordare, si preferisce far finta che non siano mai esistite, chissà perché... davvero un peccato.
