ANA BORRALHO & JOÃO GALANTE Trigger of Happiness
How to grow and be, with the possibility of finding ourselves without losing ourselves. w/ Transfo Collect
One of the three young people was once depressed. As hormonal tornadoes, they are the victims of their own development, vulnerable to stress, pressure, conflicts and teenage dramas. They seldom feel proud or happy. But what is happiness? What can trigger happiness? Is happiness somewhere outside our comfort zone?
For this presentation, performers Ana Borralho and João Galante worked with a group of Brussels young people aged 18 to 23. By way of the dreams and expectations of these young people – for whom the future is still uncertain – they reconsider how we live together in today’s rapidly changing world.
