SEMAINES D’INFORMATION SUR LA SANTÉ MENTALE

Schedule

Théâtre Jean Marmignon: Place Hyppolite Ducos

‘Bleu électrique’, a cinematic circus show by Cirque Pardi!, presented by the Théâtre Jean Marmignon and CNAREP Pronomade(s) in Haute-Garonne. Here, in *Bleu Électrique*, a cinematic atmosphere pervades. The characters are there, on the fringes between rubbish bins and oblivion. Beneath an apparent ugliness that reflects the harsh realities of everyday life, *Bleu Électrique* transcends into a dreamlike beauty and lightness. Here, humanity is portrayed in all its splendour, cruelty and absurdity. By tackling fundamental human emotions, this production takes a raw and uncompromising look at reality, whilst at times, in the same breath, inviting us to dream.

Friday 9 October at 2.00 pm – School groups

Final dress rehearsal of the show. Sixth-form students will be able to attend this moment of shared experience and emotion with the performers free of charge.

Film screenings and discussions

Screening of the documentary ‘Les esprits libres’ by Bertrand Hagenmüller, followed by a discussion with the director.

Thursday 8 October at 8.00 pm, in partnership with the charity ‘Les Sans Cou’.

Set within a specialist care home, the documentary follows an extraordinary artistic endeavour: men and women living with Alzheimer’s disease or related conditions engage in a creative process guided by artists. Far from the usual clinical perspective, the camera gently captures the spark that remains. We discover that whilst words may be lost and memories may fade, sensitivity, humour and emotion remain intact. Through painting, theatre or music, these ‘free spirits’ break free from the constraints of the disease to reclaim their place in the world. Concessionary admission.

Musée Arts et Figures des Pyrénées Centrales: 35 Bd. Jean-Bepmale

Guided tour and workshop: a history of beauty from prehistory to the present day. For teenagers aged 13 to 17 enrolled at the Azimut social centre.

Wednesday 14 October (afternoon)

Come to the museum for a unique tour and workshop centred on the exhibition ‘(Extra)ordinary: Our Collections?’. Through close observation of objects and works of art that have stood the test of time, you will discover the uniqueness of an artistic and human approach. This session is an invitation to explore. How the evolution of objects and bodies in society has constantly reinvented itself. From the Venus of Lespugue to Kim Kardashian, how can we sharpen our critical thinking in the face of the beauty standards imposed by each era?

A fun and interactive session to question how we view art and ourselves.

Creative Workshop: Collective Mosaic.

Wednesday 14 October. A day of sharing and intergenerational artistic creation. Led and guided by mosaic artist Alexandra Reuss. Creation of a collective contemporary mosaic artwork, co-created throughout the day by patients from the Day Hospital and children from the Atouts Loisirs Comminges leisure centre. The finished piece will be on public display until the end of the year.

Museum Tour: a sensory journey & whispers from the past.

Saturday 17 October from 10.30 am to 12.00 pm

Let yourself be guided on a one-of-a-kind sensory tour. Here, there are no barriers: words take the place of display cases to bridge the gap with the past and reveal all the magic, history and soul of objects from days gone by. A true rediscovery of our heritage through storytelling that invites the senses to come alive.

Naturopath and flower therapist Anne-Christine Van Wambeke will guide you on this adventure. Together, we’ll explore the power of the senses through Bach Flower Remedies and their beauty: a sensory journey to soothe the mind and stimulate sensory memory. A timeless, intimate and warm interlude to nurture historical curiosity and inner well-being. Please remember to bring a floor mat, cushions and anything else you might need for your comfort. The workshop is open to children aged 8 and over. By registration only: tel. 05 61 89 05 42 or by email at accueil.musee@stgo.fr.
