Fast, fun, thoughtful and physical The Happiness is a brand new dance theatre work from an award winning choreographer, which sweeps its audience into a provocative and entertaining adventure.

Using the company’s trademark combination of breakneck choreography, spoken word, live sound and ever transforming images, The Happiness is an emotional and colourful explosion of joy, grief and confusion, which has been made, and will be performed, through the company’s unique artistic practice; the performers decide the structure of the work live in the moment of performance – meaning that each performance is completely unique!

Combining first person stories, case studies from across the globe and referencing a whole host of philosophers and self-proclaimed happiness gurus, the work throws happiness up for all to question, see, experience and, ultimately, feel.
