Comp. Flying Elephant

Who or what do we humans chase after in order to be happy? What do we put up with and whose happiness is at stake? 

We are very grateful to have the opportunity to create HAPPY HUNTING at Red Sapata with its great artistic environment. This new creation is looking at the human instincts of fight or flight, gentleness and survival. Both lie within us. We move between these notions interacting with others. HAPPY HUNTING is dealing with the challenge of this intrinsic chaos.
