Running away from global earth warming, three yuocs and their shepherd are having a rest during their long journey from the Yuoclund highlands.
A small central Asian country, Yuoclund would be border between China and Mongolia. Protected by huge and impassable forests, by semi-desert mountains and by walls of rocks and ice it remained unknown until now.
The Yuocs are mythic creatures of Central Asia. Born from the uncertain encounters between yak and yeti, they have fed the legends of many Asian population, up to their disappearance around the year 600 B.C. Everyone thought the species extinct, but they had found shelter on a small high Altai plateau. This is where they met with the Yuocmyns.
The Yuocmyns : Literally, the men of the Yuocs. A population of northern origins, who in the IXth century followed a head warrior, Uruf, prophet of a philosophy which considers smiling as a real martial art. Running away from a country always at war, Uruf and his followers retired to a small plateau they called Yuoclund : The country of the Yuocs.
During the encounter, organised by the French Yuoclund Foundation, you will be able to observe the symbiotic behaviour of Yuocs and Yuocmyns. They will perform rituals, songs and dances from Yuoclund for you.

Pulken Purfun – The collection of Purfun
The Yuocs have a gland which produces a whitish and perfumed liquid : the Purfun. This substance is carefully collected by the Yuocmyn for its anti-aging properties. Yuocmyns survival in this hostile environment is mainly linked to the use of the purfun.
Mängärutiel – Mängä Ceremony
Mängä : wish, desire, a projected conscious dream, a project meant to be realised. The Mängä Ceremony is a meditation in which the Yuocmyn concentrate on naming his wish. Then after a short set of gestures, he creates extreme intense visualisations of his project now realised.
