THE HAPPY SHOW (PREMIERE: THE BEDLAM THEATRE, 2010) | Media List


Statement






Why are we happy? What makes us happy? And how can we stay in this intangible state of being? Exploring these questions, Live Action Set installs its latest innovative theatrical experience throughout the nooks and crannies of the Bedlam Theatre. A show that is nearly impossible to experience the same way twice, audience members choose-their-own-adventure to follow a troupe of happy-makers performing the ancient Ritual of Happiness, a buffet of large spectacles and intimate sideshows exploring the ephemeral state of happiness. Full of whimsy, poetry, surprise, eccentricity and, above all, happiness, The Happy Show features song, dance, sunsets, picnics, detailed explanations, lightening bugs, and if you are lucky an opera for two or an encounter with the king of all dogs.
