Les prix du même

Les prix du même (the prices of the same) is the enunciation of all the simultaneous monetary equivalences of the same unit of pollution, in other words the different prices of a ton of CO2 equivalent, according to the latest report published by the World Bank. The play is a duet between a woman and a man. The woman for the stock markets, the man for the government taxes. Each announcement is followed by a silence whose duration is that of the figure announced. For example, if the market price in Beijing is 6.53 dollars per ton, the silence that follows this figure equals 6.53 seconds; if the price of the carbon tax in Liechtenstein is 129.86, the silence = 129.86 seconds; etc.
