BESSER WERDEN!

a late capitalist counselling cantata

for success fanatics and a depressive choir

In it, we get to the bottom of ubiquitous self-optimisation. A cross between a consulting event, contemporary music theatre and cabaret show, BESSER WERDEN! uses absurd humour and deep seriousness to ask what success really is, why we strive for constant improvement and what happiness actually means.
