[Applause]

good evening do not worry it’s okay

pass

I tell stories from almost

20 years old and then almost twenty years old I

meaning related to the roots of the account by

men’s women’s counters

storytellers who since the big mornings of

world generation after generation we

bore to me stories of

stories they nurtured from their lives of

their lived experience during their lifetime among all these

some stories touch me a lot

it’s as if some people demanded

me that I tell them then I

execute me

I tell them there was once a

man and a woman

he had envied one’s desire for

the other

so they united together and it was

good close to perfection

the woman said she wanted that

always one told me too so

they did what lovers do

they made oaths of love

and they swore and fidelity

same exclusives and that came from

the man he did not want to share it he

wanted her on his own not to

share

not even with a child and told him that

if she were to give birth, he would kill her

she was scared she was afraid of him

she was afraid of her breasts

get bored be afraid of your belly

which is rounded up is sometimes fear that

gives ideas she had an idea a

evening in the silence of the press she has

started telling him a story

he wanted the rest of the story

the next day he asked and the day

according to again and the one after again

the man wanted to know the end of

the story but the baby only has before

end of the story

so she presented it to him in the

cradle and he felt like snapped up

by the black look of this baby

he looked at his little folds his little ones

feet swaddled his soft skin he the

was looking at her then the child again and

he smiled the man said it’s

like that were born the stories

I like what this story tells me

storytelling to escape death count

to evade death it is this

that she made this woman in love

she understood the stake in the account all

like sheherazade is not it

used the words she knew that the words

when they are well woven have the

magic power to get you out of the

death of distracting you

children too have seen this for

children at night it’s like death

somehow all the fears

ancestral stand

so to escape it we

launch their famous daddy watches

Mom tell me a story tells

me a story

I intervene with young people in

high schools

I arrive I introduce myself and I say my

Storytelling job

in general young people receive me with

a kind of defiance and even a bit of a

smile mocking the boys especially

they sit more on their shoulder blades

that on their sitting a little bit like

that and they make a storytelling way

but it is a profession of the Middle Ages

heed the killers waiting for him

storyteller girl she is storyteller what

but wait who is not one

family

[Music]

then there is silence and in this

silence I hear their speeches

interior that has to say somehow

go ahead swing your story go

balance then I’m running

I tell him a father who wants his

girl I tell them a mother who eats

his children I tell them a young man who

is not afraid of anything or anyone and

especially not mitten munch then he

challenge him the bogeyman the young he

should not have been because it’s transformed

in a ball of butter there on the corner of a

table in the kitchen

and when the young man’s mother gets in

sees this task of melted fat on the

corner of his table

she takes a rag she is that one

grease stains and throws the rag at

fire I can read a little cold in

their eyes sometimes and I like that

because at that moment I know they

are there with me in the account

sometimes there are some who want to tell

also so I send them for their

history at the library

this is the case of Roman Roman at 14 years old

and it is time it first which

two years in advance is difficult

to manage the class group when we have

two years in advance because the others

boys scorns you a little bit in

does I think it’s there is a hand

of jealousy because when we have the

brain turn well and we’ll go this

fashion it does not please and then the girls

they find it too hot roman too

hot too hot it is very boring

Roman chose to tell small to

small to it’s a tiny little boy

but who has it in there and little high

via abu bad guys and little high

refuses to marry the beautiful because they

find it too jumped as

Roman refines its history as you go

that they enter his story

I feel that they are changing

metamorphose he feels better in the

class group and one day he offers us

to tell us his story from end to

bout then we listen to him Roman he

speak with ease with eloquence

silences households he embarks us to

the end there is like a great silence

I am amazed we are all amazed

and there is the star of the class who says

yes roman

and as Roman was leaked by the star

class is good it’s good

Besides, the teachers tell me

tell

since the tale workshop started that

is better in class less than

violence and for good reason the count offers

words the count offers a structure the

famous narrative structure that allows

to deploy in a setting the count

offers language registers we pass

from solemnity to gravity to humor

the account to say and say at the end

of the cycle there is a boy I loved

although he frankly told me madam

count it kills too much I hope you

will come back next year

and I told him that I was

delighted with her from her invitation barely

disguised but I also told him that I

did not quite agree with

his point of view for me the account does

did not kill on the contrary it is islands

help heal to heal us as he

had looked after the class group that

could not reach whose members

could not talk to each other anymore

I tell the story of a young girl

and a tree who are in love and

the tree agrees to change its nature

to marry the girl

it’s their secret but when the

sisters of the girl

after the secret she intimate the order

to choose between her unnatural lover

and his family his clan his village

but how can we choose between this

that we love and that we love to

the end of the women’s show come

see me

one of them is in her seventies

she tells me it’s her story

that she just realized that that

the touch and again I also tell of

the truculence of women with big

tits big buttocks pay

extraordinary that make you go

in the bowels of the earth

I like it the public also we laugh we laugh

a lot it’s good and at the end of

show a little girl 7 8 years old comes

see me a little blonde she serves me

strong in her arms she kisses me and

she tells me that her father died her

mother comes to see me and she tells me and

what did she say to you then I

say again

and there I learn from the mouth of the sea

that the little girl did not say a single

word for three months

since his father died the account

it jostles it upsets the

psychoanalysis understood this very well

think for example to bruno bettelheim

with the psychoanalysis of fairy tales

the tale to heal the psyche leconte

to heal the account to heal the

account would be some kind of drugs

a pill

watch out for a medicine of which there is

would have no side effects to lament

no such drugs that we

endorment our anesthesia on the contrary what

drug there he wakes us there

wake up our game it puts us in

connection with the world and we

brings us closer to ourselves

of course there may be a little

bitterness in this medicine sometimes

stories can hurt this

bitterness there it is dissolved in the

beauty of language in the poetry of

tale that for me is a sacred language

a language that has nothing to do with

our communication language of

order of the past me the salt or the weight

renens

it’s a language that comes from the heart

a proverb says that the words that

come from the mouth the touch that the

ears on the other hand the words that

come from the heart touches the hearts of

time I think about this little girl and

his mom and I imagine they’re going

listen to stories a lot

of stories and that’s good because they

have understood that

stories are there we are not

only the stories are there for for

help us the rest of us

I am deeply convinced that

in all the infinite multitude of

account there is for each one

of us a story the whole thing

is what is yours thank you

[Applause]
