Happy Factory

VAULT Festival, Waterloo, London

After years of pandemics, wars and a deepening sense of melancholy, the Director of Happiness has made it his mission to rediscover the happiness of old and return the world to gleeful jubilation. Welcome to the Happy Factory.

With Moji and a team of enthusiastic Smilers, the Director puts his subjects through a series of happiness experiments, monitoring their scores as they go. Colour therapy, happy memories, exercise and endorphins unfold through aerial circus, physical theatre and dance - all in pursuit of 100% cheery.
