A Question of Happiness

November 3, 2023 10:00 p.m.
Workshop Stage Pfalztheater KAISERSLAUTERN

What is happiness? And where do we find it?

We look for happiness every day. It is probably one of people's most desired goals in life. But what exactly is happiness and how the hell do I find it? It is clear that the question of happiness has plagued us since the beginning of time and that money does not make us happy. But why is the prosperity of our society measured by gross national income? That's not the case everywhere! In the Buddhist-influenced state of Bhutan, gross national happiness has been measured since 2008 using extensive questionnaires. This inspired us for the program for this late-night event.

The evening will be accompanied musically by Katrin Lerchbacher, Katharina Hirsch and Aymeric Catalano, who as members of Orchester des Wandels are committed to climate and environmental protection and thus to a happier relationship between people and nature.
