THE LAUGHING GAME is a choreographic investigation of laughter, unfolding its physics and its soundscape in close relation with the audience. The work moves in the intersection between dance, installation and concert.
The performance showcases laughter as social communication, bodily state, chuckling sound and exuberant sensation. THE LAUGHING GAME unfolds a palette of the emotions that laughter can express, its contagious power and its liberating effect. In contrast to the common perception of laughter as fun, laughter is portrayed here as both fun and serious play. Hahaha.
THE LAUGHING GAME is a tribute to laughter - a celebration of its functions and subtleties.
