À partir de quelques contes évoquant la vie traditionnelle des Inuit au Groenland oriental, qu'apprenons-nous de leur art de conter? Comment les conteurs retiennent-ils l'attention de leur auditoire? Comment le rythme et l'intonation de leur voix, leur gestuelle, leurs mimiques et les formules répétitives du récit servent-ils à impressionner et captiver les auditeurs? Le talent d'un conteur renommé du Groenland oriental nous en offre ici une belle illustration. Ses gestes et sa prosodie font vivre les personnages du récit tout en ranimant les valeurs et l'esprit de cette culture ancienne. La langue des contes est le tunumiisut, dialecte inuit. La parole du conteur, telle qu'elle s'exprime dans la vidéo, est presque musicale, elle résonne à nos oreilles, elle fait surgir des sensations, elle aiguise nos sentiments et suscite notre empathie. What can we learn about the narrative art of East Greenland Inuit from just a few tales recalling the traditional way of life? How do the storytellers capture and hold their audience's attention? How do rhythm, tone of voice, gesture, mimicry and phrases repeated over and again make an impression on the listeners and enthrall them? The tales collected here, told by a renowned East Greenlandic storyteller in the Tunumiisut dialect of Inuit, give us some valuable clues to answer these questions. His delivery and gestures bring his characters to life as he fires the spirit of a now disappearing culture. His words as we can hear them on the accompanying video recording are almost musical. They ring in our minds, bring the depicted material world closer, play on our feelings, and put us in tune with the characters.
