Outline

Based on the micro perspective of the lives of people living in the city and the macro perspective of the history and transition of the city itself, ha_ppy_cla_ss has created an original theatrical work focusing on the gap between the two.
The performance revolved around live performances of club music with microphone-delivered speech over the top of the music.
The troupe conducted activities to expand the work beyond the framework of arts, such as holding dialogue with peer artists working in various artistic fields with a focus on music, theater and plays, etc., as well as activities to deliver the work through means such as streaming, regardless of physical distance.

Profile

ha_ppy_cla_ss
This group incorporates dance music-centered music production and performance into its playwriting, and concentrates on a style it calls “four on the floor theater” and “live music theater” in which all lines are spoken to the beat using a microphone.
In addition to theaters, the group uses music studios, live music houses and clubs, etc. as performance venues in its efforts to engage in borderless initiatives between theater and music.
