About this event
HAPPY END is a stage piece with deaf teenagers, exploring adolescence as a threshold where celebration meets loss and identity forms amid uncertainty. On stage, they gather to create a shared rhythm: not conventional music, but a way of organizing time through bodies, gestures, and attention. In this fragile space, deafness shifts perception and redefines listening and communication. Meaning emerges across sign, gaze, and movement. As stories unfold without closure, the piece sustains motion rather than resolution. In a world that feels unstable, these teenagers insist on being together, inventing forms of relation that keep something alive, even when the future is unclear.
