Abstract: We consider in this work representations of the of the fundamental group of the 3-punctured sphere in $mPU(2,1)$ such that the boundary loops are mapped to $mPU(2,1)$. We provide a system of coordinates on the corresponding representation variety, and analyse more specifically those representations corresponding to subgroups of $(3,3,infty)$-groups. In particular we prove that it is possible to construct representations of the free group of rank two $laa,ba$ in $mPU(2,1)$ for which $a$, $b$, $ab$, $a{b}^{-1}$, $a{b}^2$, $a^{2}b$ and $[a,b]$ all are mapped to parabolics.
