Cabinet of Happiness

In Cabinet of Happiness, the Berlin-based choreographer and performer Dragana Bulut examines the promises and methods of positive psychology. Through appropriating various forms of coaching, she explores the questions behind the ideology of happiness today and the way in which the pressure of happiness choreographs our behaviour and affects the creation of subjectivity. Visitors have the possibility to join different coaching sessions, each with a different approach and aim. In the coaching Express, participants learn to relax in no time. In Twist, they can experience a completely new method of positive thinking and empathic feeling, possibly changing their life for the good. Or, in Hedonimeter, participants can literally observe how their level of happiness grows steadily by employing specific techniques.
