In this performance, rooted in my own working experiences, I articulate a contemporary form of contradictory suffering through popular culture and a sense of humor.
Just as I peel onions, shedding tears while recounting political jokes of self-consolation, or invite the audience to march together as another part of the performance, we all find ourselves at the threshold between happiness and pain: on one side, caught in the banal yet painful repetition of daily life, like Sisyphus; on the other, constantly diluting pain into an imaginable joy.
It reflects both the ways contemporary society constructs happiness and a hopelessly romantic pursuit.
The performance unfolds through performative theater, stand-up comedy, and interactive workshops.
