The Foundation

Philippe Multeau — 2006-12-18T23:10:00Z

Created by Denise TOURET after her trip to China in January 2001, the France-Yuoclund Foundation organises in collaboration with the G.R.A.A.L.L. (Rural action group for leisure and artistic liberation) the encounters with "The Messengers from Yuoclund" for protection and promotion of Yuoclund and the Yuocmyn culture.

Since the global warming, the glaciers protecting Yuoclund are melting, thus throwing this pacific population straight into the third millennium. On the border of China and Mongolia, Yuoclund is under important politic pressure. The fact that Frenchman Martin TOURET (first discoverer and defender of Yuoclund) was arrested and then disappeared from the Tacheng jail, shows the will of the Chinese authorities to end all attempts to protect the plateau and its inhabitants.
The Yuocs's glandular system gives off a whitish and smelly liquid called purfun. This substance carefully collected by the Yuocmyns seems to have anti-ageing properties. Some drug laboratories drawn by possible financial benefits, would like to push Yuocmyns to mass purfun production. The rise of consumerism spirit among this society based on donation will endanger Yuoclund's frail balance.
Drawn by a new exotic destination some travellers are already trying to go to Yuoclund as explorers, opening the way to mass tourism.

• To protect Yuoclund and its people.

• To compile and publish Martin TOURET' notes and drawings.
A true mine of information, these notes and drawings must be collected to allow the publication and distribution of a thematic journal.

• To find out more about Yuocmyn culture and philosophy.
Through ambulatory encounters, exhibits and conferences, The French Yuoclund Foundation proposes to create a relationship with Yuoclund, in order to discover a prehistoric culture where relations between man and its environment are bound together by survival, interdependence and therefore respect.

• To find out what happened to Martin TOURET.
What happened between the moment that he sent his notes and his drawings from the Tacheng's jail in January 2000 and his disappearance from there before Denise TOURET's visit in October 2001? Local authorities lack interest in this subject.

• Welcome The Messengers from Yuoclund to your home.
By receiving The Messengers from Yuoclund, your donation will give the Messenger the means to satisfy their basic needs and will allow them to go on carrying around their message of peace, tolerance and love of the imagination.

The Encounters

Philippe Multeau — 2006-12-18T22:32:00Z

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.

Vulcomit tunz – Welcoming dance
Yog arn Leinad Ognimod : I am Leinad Ognimod
Comen po ich po Yuoclund : I have come from Yuoclund
Yuocs unt Yuocmyns om Mängästour : Yuocs and Yuocmyns from Mängästour

Comen po ich dyn sutiten : Come here and you will see
Comen po dar dyn unkenen : Come here and you will understand
Comen yogals dyn furichten : Come with us and you will know

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.

Et vo tre furun
The favourite game in Yuoclund. Simple basic rules understood by everyone for a universal game.

Ring Rutiel – Circus ceremony
Dances, songs and acrobatic tricks as an offering to the beauty of Mängästour.

The messengers from Yuoclund

Philippe Multeau — 2006-11-16T23:45:00Z

3 mythical creatures, half yak, half yeti and their shepherd have a rest on their long way from Yuoclund,
their country of origin.

They play games and rituals and reveal their philosophy and their way of life with much humour and gentleness. It's an imaginary and humoristic reconstitution of a disappearing world by 3 stilt men and their guide speaking a universal language. Our aim is to improve the relationship between men and animals, often based on domination, training, and brutality and to question other forms of communication, more open, more equal and more respectful. Better than the costumes and the physical performance on stilts we have the ambition to create a better harmonious world and to bring joy. Our shepherd's mother language is Yuocmyn; but he had to adapt to the European public and learn some basic French, English and Spanish. It is this invented language that you can understand or not which gives the show an international dimension.

Technical requirements: The performance consist in a strolling act for about 20 mn and a show facing a circle for about 40 mn (with grass, trees, water,… any natural setting is recommended). The itinerary: starting from the dressing room, about 100 m long, quiet (no sound system on the way. Dressing rooms: large and height (min. 2.30m), on the 1st floor. This spectacle is very adaptable in that we will try to accomodate any preferences.
