Abstract: We describe a family of representations of $p{i}_1(Sigma)$ in PU(2,1), where $Sigma$ is a hyperbolic Riemann surface with at least one deleted point. This family is obtained by a bending process associated to an ideal triangulation of $Sigma$. We give an explicit description of this family by describing a coordinates system in the spirit of shear coordinates on the Teichm"uller space. We identify within this family new examples of discrete, faithful and type-preserving representations of $p{i}_1(Sigma)$. In turn, we obtain a 1-parameter family of embeddings of the Teichm"uller space of $Sigma$ in the PU(2,1)-representation variety of $p{i}_1(Sigma)$. These results generalise to arbitrary $Sigma$ the results obtained in a previous paper for the 1-punctured torus.
