Presentation

This conference-performance includes two movements:
A conference by Pierre Magistretti and François Ansermet around neuroscience and psychoanalysis about the enigma of creative process, especially about their unconscious side; a musical improvisation which brings into play two pianists (Orazio Sciortino and Richard Rentsch) with an EEG recording to access their brain activity in the creative process.
The signals are projected on large screens and spectators can follow, in real-time, images of the neuronal activity during this creative process.

Nous naissons tous fous, certains le demeurent – teaser

Introduction

Why do we feel unwell, how does it show itself in each of us, and can we find a way out? Young people share their experience, and experts in psychoanalysis and neuroscience offer some answers.
A documentary inspired by the books “A chacun son cerveau” and “Les énigmes du plaisir” by Professors François Ansermet, psychoanalyst, and Pierre Magistretti, neuroscientist, published by Éditions Odile Jacob.
