HAPPY DAYS

from SAMUEL BECKET

(IN PROGRESS)

​

Part performance event, part public-art installation, this site-specific and socially-distant staging of Beckett’s masterpiece will tour to a range of different types of industrial mounds (salt piles, recycling centers, gravel plants, scrap yards). Typically submerged in a mountain of sand, Beckett’s existential heroine is transposed onto contemporary industrial landscapes. This new staging of HAPPY DAYS reflects the terror, isolation, and alienation of waking up every day in a world increasingly threatened by climate disaster.
