What is happiness? Franzi and Didi from the Center for Happiness Research present answers to this question. But they soon realize: The topic is really tricky! They test fortune cookies, interview an everyday expert and examine the effect of compliments and gifts. But no sooner do they think they have found an answer than the next moment they realize that it's not quite that simple. Instead, new questions arise: Where does happiness even come from? Can you hold on to it? Can it be bought or produced by a machine?
What makes whom happy? And if happiness is lost - what then? Franzi and Didi become extremely creative in their research work.
This children's play by author Marc Becker, directed by Niklas Radtke, is a fun and imaginative way to get young audiences thinking about a big topic. The play was produced as part of "Nah dran! New Plays for Children's Theater", a cooperation project between the Children's and Young People's Theatre Centre in the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Literature Fund, with funding from the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
