Sherap Sangpo leaves Dolpo and joins a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu at the age of 10. From then on his life changes dramatically.He is recognized as a reincarnation of a high ranking Tulku and is sent for the next seventeen years to an exil monastery in South India. There he lives a student's life with mobile and laptop. But it's time to return as Dolpo Tulku. Return to his remote Himalayan region, to a place that he has grown distant to. Dolpo is one of the most isolated regions in the world, located in the north-west of Nepal bordering Tibet. Surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, only accessible by foot through 17.000 ft high passages. The region has been able to conserve its archaic Buddhist culture. But he has to take charge of several monasteries as well as be the leading figure for those deeply religious people in Dolpo. Has he got a chance to decide, to fulfill the duties as reincarnation, to develop an area in the Himalayans, which has been forgotten for the last five-hundred years, and which had therefore had the chance to preserve it's original Buddhist culture.A Buddhist road movie – without roads!
DOLPO TULKU – RETURN TO THE HIMALAYAS
Germany 2009by Marcus Behrens
This documentary circles around seven international dancers in their everyday life in Germany's capital city, Berlin. All of them are connected through the vibrant and constantly growing arts scene, this city has to offer.This film focuses on the network between those dancers, regardless of nationality and style. The dance itself will remain in the centre of this work: Try-outs and rehearsals, fun and more serious aspects of being a dancer - improvisation and opening nights: no matter if it is Sasha Waltz or the State Ballet, no matter if we are talking Toula Limnaios or the "free" and "open" scene. 86 or 52min.
