A Manual on Work and Happiness
Does a person feel happier working or not working? Does work provide the solution for our collective happiness? Or rather does laziness?
These are some of the core questions of A manual on work and happiness, an international collaborative project whose final result will be a text conceived as a manual explaining step by step how to construct a performance which, in turn, illustrate how to possibly achieve happiness through working. This show can be set up in any part of the world, simply by following the instructions guidelines, just like a DIY manual.
After the Writing Residency of the Manual, four cities (Alcobaça, Montjo, Patras and Pergine) will host four artistic residencies in which mala voadora will work with the local communities. These residencies will lead to four different performances – all of them based on the text of the Manual written by Pablo Gisbert.
