PERFECT HAPPINESS
/// dance/performance 2011 ///
.
.
Perfect Happiness deals with the state of the world reflecting on its economic state.
The show features a subdued vaudeville atmosphere with dances and songs, texts about the state of things, Chinese noodles, and various product presentations. Caught in an economic reality in which no longer the actual product, but rather a piece of lifestyle is for sale, man is condemned to become the ultimate commodity himself.
The plastic shopping bag, as a symbol of consumption becomes the stuff that dreams are made of and is used to design utopian models, which ultimately also turn out to reach dead ends: resistance is useless, surrender not an option...
