SYNOPSIS What are the parameters that define a healthy society? A concert, a performance, a space on the fringes designed to shed light on a topic silenced in our society: the symptoms of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). An approach that ventures to the periphery of official narratives, challenging the hegemony of prevailing perspectives. With *Suite TOC No. 6*, we wanted to talk about mental suffering. Mental suffering has always been present in our lives, yet only recently have we begun to truly grasp what it means to experience it. It affects us personally, as Clara was diagnosed with OCD eleven years ago. Eleven years is a long time to live alongside something without ever looking it in the eye. We are sisters; we have worked together and lived together for many years—in short, we share our daily lives. In *Suite TOC*, we explore stigma and how to put this suffering into perspective—not by rendering it invisible, but by understanding that we live in a sick society where it is very difficult not to fall ill. We live in a society defined by fierce consumerism and capitalism, with deep inequalities that generate suffering that becomes very difficult to bear on an individual level.
