Synopsis:

Don't stagnate: This film is not a document about madness, any more than a film-truth investigation. It is a reflection of the experience of the Club Antonin Artaud's theater group (social and cultural rehabilitation center for the mentally ill, located in the Begijnhof district of Brussels and in which Boris Lehman was a leader for many years). Through the playful and instinctive creation of a piece built from collective improvisations, the actors' desire is expressed to 'not stagnate, to be able to get away with it and to stand on its own'. The belly, a superworld: A collage film, a dialogue between mother and the unborn child, the film can be seen as a personal self-analysis by René Paquot, who dreamily delivers his conflicts with maternal, medical and religious authority. revolt. My Delirium, the Saint-Michel: With an acute awareness of his condition as a mental patient, René Pacquot denounces all powers, and especially the practices of psychiatric hospitals, which he compares with those used in slaughterhouses: submissions by drugs, straitjackets and exterminations by electroshock. You have to see this film as a cry of revolt.
