Conference and scientific performance
by Dean Pierre Magistretti and François Ansermet
This event includes two movements. The first will be conducted by Dean Magistretti (Dean of BESE) and Prof. François Ansermet, involving a dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis derived from questions that both have in common but also from paradoxes. The second movement features a musical improvisation with two pianos, created by Orazio Sciortino and Richard Rentsch. Starting from notes chosen by the audience, they will create an instantaneous composition born out of a musical dialogue.
