【 摘 要 】

This study aimed to report the experience of an aesthetic, poetic, and theatrical production of the city’s occupation from a device of the Psychosocial Care Network to offer space for sociability, production, and cultural intervention. This is an account of an experience from the Social and Cultural Center (CECCO) in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, within madness and mental health deinstitutionalization. The intervention “The Little Prince occupies the Ribeira” was inspired by the work of author Saint-Exupéry. The artistic and creative acts reported occurred in December 2019. We experienced in this intervention the reach of an aesthetic clinic that, when opened to the street and art, expanded and weaved in the territory, instrumentalized by theater, dance, poetry, percussion, crafts, and city’s occupation. The movement led the community to “step down from the stage” to the streets and is connected with the twist of the asylum model and the production of the affection clinic that we seek to sustain in the daily service.
