Short description

After 1945 the vocabulary and the way of thinking of the war was taken over by the economy.
The weapons were incredibly efficient: marketing techniques, persuasion methods, and strategies. A new vocabulary appeared: ?commercial strategy?, ?how to conquer the markets? Capture the clients? ?, ?cue-to-action?, etc.
If we listen to the economical vocabulary, which we are used to, we realize that the aggressive, quarrelsome character of it has become normal for us, it isn?t shocking anymore.
To question what we call peace is also maybe to be ready to question the establishment, or even the established disorder that is created in order to conquer the markets, the implicit violence that is imposed without taking care of the relationship it creates between human beings.
The creation of a performance based on this vocabulary would be a perfect way to make this violence visible on its own.
