Happiness

The most recent performance by the modern dance ensemble Club Guy & Roni from Groningen and the percussion ensemble Slagwerk Den Haag. In their characteristically dynamic way and with a grain of salt they portray characters who are far from ideal in their search for happiness. Does one have to be lucky to experience true happiness? – they ask. The performance, inspired by Todd Solondz’s film Happiness is an explosive mix of absurd, bittersweet comedy and expressive dancing to compelling live music.
The performance was created by Guy Weizman and Roni Haver, renowned Israeli choreographers working in the Netherlands, as well as composers Frank Wienk (Binkbeats, Slagwerk Den Haag) and Niels Broos (Kyteman Orchestra).
The international cast of Club Guy & Roni includes the Polish dancer Igor Podsiadły. This acclaimed ensemble has captivated audiences at many European theatres and festivals. Established in 1977,  Slagwerk Den Haag isconsidered one of the world’s foremost percussion ensembles.
