In this document I deal with the El Salado massacre of 2000, based on the concatenation of three elements: memory, action and body. In response emphatically to the way of the events during the phenomenon, I present the way in which the interaction of these elements allow the perpetrators of the massacre to intervene in a space, seeking to mold it and its inhabitants with violent resources. I defend, that they do it through the movements of fencing, concentration, visibility and staging, in which attitudes of legitimation and improvisation converge that enhance and determine the impact and projection that the massacre will have on the space it affects and on its inhabitants.
