A dialogue between a victim
and her consciousness
The shows are dialogues between a victim and her consciousness, in which she realizes little by little that her way of living is unacceptable and that there are ways to live differently. It also makes her aware of her own wounds & fragility and of the fact that everything starts from oneself: Our behavior defines the shape of our relationship with others.
The heroine of the show, whom the young people can identify with, discovers that she can change her position in the world, starting by talking about what she is experiencing and seeking help - because her silence protects the abusers.
The length of the performances varies between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the age of the audience.
The duration of the performances varies between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the age of the audience.
Our approach
It is important to talk about violence & harassment openly, so that children and adults who experience it can recognize it and determine what is acceptable and what is not.
They are heavy subjects for those who are victims, and taboo subjects for those who inflict it on others and who often are in denial of their own destructive functioning and its impact, or do not realize it.
For these reasons, and in order to arouse the interest of everyone, we have chosen to convey our message through musical performances: a play, interspersed with songs illustrating the themes addressed, adapted to each age.
We have chosen to address the subject of violence through its counterparts: empathy & compassion, respect, self-love and self-esteem.
And teach our audience how to understand and deal with the anger, fear and unhappiness that leads to violence and bad behaviors.
We view this approach as a pleasant and entertaining way to talk about an important subject at the heart of our society and about which we are all concerned.
- what is self-respect and respect for others?
- how can I learn to protect and defend myself?
- what is acceptable, what is not acceptable?
- how can I recover and rebuild myself if I have been a victim, in order never to be a victim again?
- what can I do if I am a victim of violence?
CONTENT, TOOLS & MESSAGES
1 - Teach children how to deal with bullying situations
by developing their social skills
(verbal and psychological violence, or minor physical violence)
According to psychiatrist Philippe Aïm's "Idiot's Game" from Izzy Kalman's "Bullies to Buddies".
“Words only have the power we give them.”
Key principles of the method
1- Change perspective
Rather than seeing the bully as an enemy, the method encourages recognizing that those who bully often act out of their own pain or a need for dominance.
2- Avoid the victim role
The more a person reacts with frustration, fear, or anger, the more power they give to the bully. Learning not to take insults personally can help neutralize the situation.
3- Respond calmly and with humor
Rather than showing distress, using non-defensive responses, humor, or simply acknowledging the remarks without emotional involvement reduces the harasser's motivation to continue.
4- Prevent escalation of the conflict
Rather than seeking to punish or directly confront the bully, the approach focuses on de-escalation and emotional resilience, in order to break the cycle of conflict.
5- Strengthen self-esteem and confidence
Developing emotional independence and self-worth is essential. The method helps individuals become mentally stronger, so that negative words or actions do not define their perception of themselves.
“We will never win the war against bullying by trying to convince people to stop being bullies.
We must teach people not to be victims!”
— Izzy Kalman, Certified School Psychologist in the United States since 1978
2 - Teach children how human beings function, so that they become more aware of themselves and of others.

Based on the KYF "Know Yourself First" methodology by Steve A. TINEO​
​detailed in the book ‘Through the SELF’, based on the KYF - Know Yourself First methodology.
KYF© is a method developed by Steve A. Tineo over the course of more than 20 years' work in the field.
Accompanied by doctors and experts, he has selected, analysed and tested a large number of methodologies for mental preparation, conflict resolution and philosophies, as well as negotiation and mediation programmes, in order to extract the best lessons.
KYF© - Know Yourself First enables us to learn to decode our own functioning, to understand the mechanism of our mind, in order to better know ourselves and thus better understand others.
- Understand how our thoughts, beliefs and conditioning are formed, so that we can rediscover who we really are.
- Learn to manage our anger, sadness and fear, so that we can make conscious choices.
- Put an end to the patterns of suffering and limiting beliefs that prevent us from being at peace.
Build self-confidence by developing self-awareness.
1- Why do I become a victim?
Our thoughts and beliefs are influenced by our conditioning, our past experiences and the way we interpret them.
Something inside me may think :
- That I deserve it, or that I'm too weak to defend myself.
- That submission is the least dangerous solution.
Or I haven't yet acquired the social skills needed to react appropriately.
2- Our thoughts are influenced by :
- An unconscious selection of our attention
- Our past experiences
- Our emotions and feelings
- Our beliefs and conditioning
Fear is a thought.
I only perceive part of reality.
My feelings and intuition tell me the truth.
3- My mind interprets the world
It acts like a filter:
- I interpret others, who they are and what they do.
- I interpret myself, what I'm capable of and what I think I should do.
- I interpret the world according to my perceptions and beliefs.
4- I don't see...
- My limiting beliefs, because I think they are the truth.
- My toxic behaviour towards myself and others, because my mind justifies my actions.
- All the possible options outside my field of knowledge.
I don't know what I don't know...
5- I CAN...
- Learn to express my anger: FOR me and not AGAINST the other person.
- Learn to overcome my fears, limiting beliefs and protective reflexes:
By identifying them, becoming aware of them and choosing to react differently.
- Learning to transform my suffering:
Stop fighting them and embrace them with love.
Using introspection techniques, meditation and appropriate protocols.
- Learning to respect myself and set limits:
I teach others how they can treat me.
I seek support from therapists, psychologists... if possible.
We can choose to find our inner peace, so that we can live in peace with others.
Everything starts with me.
For a more peaceful and aware society.
