The mechanisms of seduction permeate the interpersonal sphere as much as the work sphere. The serenade is a way to declare one’s interest or to manifest one’s virtues or even to attract the gaze of those around. A large, almost menacing-looking loudspeaker is held up on the shoulders of the performers, who take on a shape similar to that of the object of desire with it, for the duration of a song. The gesture lies somewhere between provocation and flattery as the title emphasizes, which refers to both a military weapon and a musical wind instrument.
