The Pursuit of Happiness

The Kopergietery in Belgium has made a name for itself with wonderfully poetic theatre pieces that combine dance, performance, concerts and acting. The Young Staatstheater Oldenburg pursues a similar approach in its interdisciplinary projects for children, teenagers and adults. Together with actors and dancers from Oldenburg and Gent Belgian director and choreographer Randi De Vlieghe will produce a piece focussing on a society of antiheros (for children aged 5 and older). Performances, workshops and guest performances will take place in Oldenburg and Ghent.
