Cie On-Off is hosting a performance titled “Le cabinet d’ordonnances musicales” on Sunday, September 20, from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., offering personalized musical “prescriptions” to the public. The event is part of the Mental Health Weeks (Semaines de la Santé Mentale) organized by the CISM – Val de Marque (Conseil Intercommunal en Santé Mentale), using art as a symbolic tool for care and connection.
Interactive Musical Consultations by Cie On-Off
Two singer-actresses operate a conceptual medical office where the treatment is music rather than medicine. According to the event organizers, the process begins with a collaborative exchange between the performers and the visitor to establish a “diagnosis.” This interaction results in a custom-tailored song performed live for the participant.
Each consultation lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. To manage the flow of visitors throughout the four-hour window, the event requires on-site registration. Participants receive a physical “prescription” to take home after their live performance, blending humor and poetry with a symbolic approach to wellness.
Integration with CISM – Val de Marque Mental Health Initiatives
The performance is a featured component of the Mental Health Weeks, a program led by the CISM – Val de Marque. By framing the artistic experience as a “musical prescription,” the event aligns with broader community goals to address mental health through creative and accessible mediums.
The CISM – Val de Marque serves as an intercommunal council dedicated to mental health, focusing on regional coordination and support. This specific collaboration with Cie On-Off emphasizes the role of “symbolic care” and the use of art to foster social links and emotional expression.
