and by talking to people to take photos, I break the usual way this modern world works for a few instants. I make real these “non-lieux” by creating an event that the stranger will remember.

Now on to the critique part...
Vision: I like your approach to the process. It's not only to just break normality by taking pictures, but to also engage the subject in conversation, and through that, the picture is given personality.
Originality: I'm afraid to say that this approach and the results from it are widely practiced. I'm not sure what it is about this photo (perhaps it's the personality of the people, the individual elements like the bow-ties, expressions, or hair, or even just the color palette), but it seems to stand out from other photos I've seen. I truly enjoy it.
Technique: What can I say? The framing is perfect; not too much, not too little, just enough to focus on the people. The colors are good. There aren't distractors in the background. You captured the characters of the people artistically. Beautifully done.
Impact: I'm not sure about how other people would react, but this brought a smile to my face; the people are endearing and it's well executed. My only issue would be that your excellent developmental process does not come through. It's a double-edged sword in my opinion; in order to show this is not a posed shoot, you would need to make the situation look more natural, but to do that would add clutter to the picture and would only take away from the picture. I think you handled it in the best way possible.
Overall, I absolutely love it.
What you say is so true, people should just take picture to strangers they see in public places, though you might don't want to over act when you ask, they might call the police.
Anyways back to you, the way the red tie guys sees the other guy is so epic and it looks very authentic, its like when I sat near a gay dude in the bus of school, and I was looking at him just like the red tie dude was doing it, so it is a very good and AWESOME job you've done
