"I am very impressed with how the presentation is both very informative and done with great sensitivity. In my opinion, it is a wonderful model for how to teach people about diseases like epilepsy that still carry a social stigma."
Zachary Ernst, Professor of Philosophy, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA / September 2012

"It is excellent and very powerful. The investigative report is extremely informative yet beautiful at the same time. I warmly congratulate you on this work. It is inventive and moving."
Jean Gotman, Professor of Neuroscience, Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University / January, 2012

"… It is remarkable in every way. Image, sound and above all… emotion. I hadn’t realised that you were such a fine teacher. You rendered the subject matter extremely clear for the uninitiated. And what presence! The essential was there, on screen and on stage… What a lecturer!
“… And as far as the performance goes, I have nothing to add. It was of excellent quality. The excerpts chosen place literature exactly where it belongs: opening doors to other worlds, to ones inner self, to what is said, to what is left unspoken…
“This light that illumines the soul”, “a surge of vital force as serenity grows, reason rises, lucidity flashes lightening-quick”, “I cling to sanity”. Beyond the disease, such words lead to what is, without a doubt, a state of grace. One that allows access to the creativity you mention. The texts were read with a rare simplicity that leads to the essential, the true meaning of the words… Magnificent! And then there was the music. I feel it was Mussorgsky who best expressed the commotion, the vertigo and the return to a state of serenity, so like what epileptic seizure seems to be.”
Jean-Marie Zipper, teacher / January, 2012

"Thank you once again for the DVD which is not only fascinating but has enlightened me on the subject of epilepsy. Bravo! Wonderful performance. François-René Duchâble heightens our awareness of the music, his interpretation is impressive, full of clarity, fantasy and emotion. And, oh, his sense of rhythm! The composers Schumann, Beethoven and the others seem to share something in common that so well expresses the frenzied, elated state of epileptic seizure. And the actor (Alain Carré) is superb and very communicative. Bravo for this beautiful work!”
Stéphane Leach, composer / March, 2012

"I would like to thank you for the conference and the performance I saw last night. It was a quality evening, as enthralling as it was moving. Bravo and thank you for organising it.”
Pascale Roux-Lombard, doctor and biologist / Geneva

"You were so clear. It was wonderful. And the performance was fascinating.”
Danièle Bloch, art historian, Ecole de Louvre / February, 2012

"Your conference/performance stays with me! Your presentation on epilepsy enabled those with only superficial knowledge to better understand the disease. The graphic charts using numbers on the screen were explicit, while you yourself clearly explained this affection, its symptoms and their consequences. You possess a great quality, an excellent precise ability to synthesise ideas. You calmly and sensitively developed your theme and captured our attention. I was also captivated by the performance for which you yourself chose the texts. It moved and fascinated me. Using music and text to illustrate the subject matter immediately after the conference was subtle. The talented pianist well communicated his feelings, as did the actor who read and interpreted the texts with his warm voice and perfect diction. You have given me such pleasure! The pleasure of growing in knowledge, of listening to music and hearing texts wherein the authors reveal their complex feelings facing a problem which was imposed upon them. For all of this, thank you.”
Danielle Carbonatto, chief administrative officer / Geneva
