LIEGE OUTREMEUSE WITHOUT TCHANTCHES - NANESSE IS NOT LIEGE
13 Dec 24For info:
The Tchantchès & Nanesse Prize has been awarded since 1985 to two artists from Liège – a man and a woman – who practice the disciplines of art indifferently: painting, comics, sculpture, writing, music, comedy, etc. Thus, each year, a Tchantchès and a Nanesse are honored.
Liège puppets
It should be noted that at the beginning, there were no rules or standards and that the puppets were built somewhat at will. However, over time, 2 styles emerged: the "left bank" style and the "right bank" style.
This name was given to them in relation to the Meuse, the river that cuts Liège in 2, because on each side a different style has evolved. This style is especially marked in 2 things.
Tchantchès & Nanesse
First of all, the composition of the left bank show gives only a very small place to Tchantchès, the local hero. Here, he is only an interlude, a stopgap. Whereas in the "right bank" shows, Tchantchès will occupy an increasingly large place to become the main character, the hero par excellence, Roland's faithful companion, Charlemagne's confidant. People will go so far as to create tailor-made shows for him.
Like her companion, Nanesse also has her statues.
Unlike the puppet and the giant, who have the physiognomy of a matron, the Nanesse sculptures all have a seductive and sassy air.

THE WILD WORLD OF AYWAILLE
14 May 24Rare fact in Aywaille
Two baby orangutans were born in the Monde Sauvage animal park.
Female orangutans give birth 3 or 4 times in their lifetime. In this case, these are natural births, which is even rarer.
Unfortunately, all orangutan species are classified as "critically endangered". Le Monde Sauvage therefore follows a conservation program for this species to provide them with optimal conditions.
Which seems to be working since we saw mothers and young orangutans sunbathing this weekend.
