MARCHÉ NOIR
« We are here to negotiate what is priceless, what can’t be sold formoney : the dark matter, the hypothetic matière, the desire. »
The night falls on the market place. The street lights will not be on. Strange dealers sneak around asking the passers-by : « What do you desire that can’t be bought for money ? ». A BLACK MARKET is co-ming, a unique occasion to be close to what an ordinary market will never be able to propose : things you cannot have for money.Stands are set up. Passers-by come near and become customers. « What would you be ready to give in exchange ? » a salesman asks, standing at the counter. After a long bargaining, they reach a deal.
It will soon be discussed in a market room near the others during the quotation session. An hanging Stock Exchange where you can read the fluctuations of this new equivalences, the desires and the risks taken, asking the stakes of taking a common responsibility.
Mixing the dealers codes, vendors of fruit and vegetables and tra-ders, BLACK MARKET questions the permission to desire outside of the frames set by the consuming society and also on our capacity to put words on our own desires. At the same time invisible and visible, dark and pleasant, secretive and outspoken, the comedians baffle the opposition artist-public : we play together with the new rules thatare proposed. At the BLACK MARKET, speaking becomes a place where you take a risk, showing the weight of words, where every scene is litteraly negotiated with the spectator.
MANIFESTO
Why what is buyable should have more value than the rest ?
We are here to negotiate what is priceless, what can’t be sold for money : the dark matter, the hypothetic matière, the desire.
We are the shadow of the stock exchange, the upside down of the trade. We are pirating the market place. We are dealing with the limits of the finance today. We are refusing the perpetual offer, the insatiable longing created by the consumerism. We want to value the demand, as reasoned, impulsive, and impossible as it is. Let’s take the time to build our emergencies before somebody else does it for us.
What if the BLACK MARKET was an alternative ? An anti TINA ?
Far away from the vacuity of the stock exchanges, it is time to agree ourselves upon new equivalences. Mine, yours, ours. In the black market hall, we can read the fluctuations of our night’s values that dream to be real in the daylight.
