A gentle encounter of pain
These two authors have a very different relationship to mental health: Pauline Bilisari addresses intimate suffering and the evil of being while Philippa Motte tells us about pathology, bipolarity and this frightening beauty of madness.
We will listen to them discuss their respective reports to the creation under the prism of mental health, then a time of 30 minutes will be devoted to your questions.
Pauline Bilisari, a young poet, puts words on her ill-being in her poems (My House in Flowers) and has just published also a first teenage novel on this theme (The stars will always shine).
Philippa Motte has published And it's me who locks up where she goes back to her forced hospitalization in HP at the age of 30. She is now an enterprise mental health specialist.
