Prem Bahadur Chepang (Thulo Bua), main shaman of the village of Chiuri Kharka, died this Tuesday, February 10. A central figure in the ritual life of his village, he carried rare knowledge, made up of songs, gestures and a unique way of inhabiting the world. For fifteen years, Adrien Viel and Aurore Laurent walked alongside him, studying and filming the sacred and shamanic practices that he embodied. Throughout the interviews, rituals and shared moments, he passed on a precious part of his knowledge to them. Today, it is his turn to go and join his ancestors through this cremation. We wish him a good trip.
