Life: Laugh or long?
An old man misuses drugs and must be sent to the hospital at once. Yet, having found out that it’ll be a paineless way of dying, he realises this is probably a once-in-a-life-time opportunity for”The Big Happy Dying” – a change not to be missed! Going into hospital?What a stupid choice! His young grandson, however, persuades grandpa to live rather than die. Is life a matter of everlasting time, or just an embrace of moments that matter to you most?
The Big Happy Dying was first created in2007. Responding to the current social landscape, the drama group reworked the script to explore life and death in a lively and hilarious wat while enteraining and inspiring at the same time. An inevitable clash between the two generations derives a dialogue of life and death at the very last moment of life, a battle of ideologies as well as a reflection of the meaning of life itself and the sttitude towards death.
