HOUSE OF HAPPINESS
“If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room”
- Jules Renard
During this season, MAGMA participants explored the idea of the waiting room. Inspired by Roy Andersson's cinematic universe, we are immersed in a world of shades of grey, where characters are each in their own way stuck in the "waiting room of life". One wants to add something to his criminal record, to regain his humanity. Another applies for a visa to travel to a distant planet to escape this world. A third tries to stay in the waiting room as long as possible to escape the rat race that awaits him outside.
All these characters search this kafkaesque place for answers on how to deal with life. Together with them, you discover when to move from waiting to doing, even if it is not yet your turn.
