ORTHODOXIE ET ORTHOPRAXIE
In the wake of the Enlightenment, humanity invented the "progress". Faust recreates entirely the city, while Theodor fights to govern the territories. Different intentions, the same outcome, as the new “invention” turns everything on ruins.

In Orthodoxie et Orthopraxie the demolition of a house is proposed as a stage for modernisation and war, alternately. The action itself is empty of meaning, but two characters turn the concrete realism of the destruction of a house into images about development and punishment, creating the moment in which a verb becomes a gesture.
