We’re Probably Really Really Happy Right Now is a wild theatrical
ride through gender politics, power dynamics and individual
aspirations. Using pop culture tropes, romantic stereotypes,
contemporary dance, experimental music, neo-Commedia inspired
vignettes, language play, freewheeling dialogue, irony, absurdity,
role reversal, dance, and gender-bending queerness. The play will
sweep you into an unpredictable vortex of minds and bodies! Fear and
restriction versus instinct and freedom. Can these forces co-exist
from an individual, gendered, and cultural perspective? The audience
are taken on a spontaneous, frenetic journey that ridicules the nature
of power, pokes fun at the severity of the tall poppy syndrome, and
exposes white male privilege and normalised misogyny. Inspired by
performance art and experimental dance choreography, the play puts
gender, capitalism, racism,sexism and social and economic exploitation
under a searing satirical lens. Surreal, irrational, non-linear,
dynamic, volatile, high octane – We’re Probably Really Really
Happy Right Now rejects tired relationship narratives, social
stereotypes and conventional, gender-binary characters and
psychologically driven action. This play throws theatre on its head.
We’re Probably Really Really Happy Right Now is an incendiary
reaction to normality, social conformity, and archaic gendered modes
of behaviour.
