Our mental health remains a part of us that we still don’t speak about so easily. In an era of ‘therapists’ and ‘coaches’ who accompany our lives, what do we think about our moods and inner states? The comedian Constance speaks candidly about her struggles with mental health, with the necessary perspective to laugh about it openly. Along the way, she invites us to reflect on our connections with madness and mental well-being.
Constance will perform her latest show, aptly titled ‘Inconstance’. There will be a discussion after the performance.
This conference is part of the series “Ces liens qui unissent, enchaînent et libèrent” hosted by the Société Médicale de Genève.
