Big, 3rd Episode (happy/end)

BIG, 3rd episode (happy/end) is the concluding episode of Superamas’ trilogy on capitalism, show business, and the 21st-century pursuit of happiness and continues to address the superficiality of much of modern life, particularly consumer culture. Structured around banal events (a boy band rehearsal and a gossipy conversation) the performance is intercut with upbeat disco-inspired dance numbers, offbeat monologues, a melodrama about the unfulfilled desire for motherhood and, in an especially ironic section, a film about Superamas’ own breakthrough success in the U.S.

Big, 3rd Episode (happy/end) is presented as part of the Under the Radar festival.
