Ten Ways to Die Happy is an immersive, participatory theatre piece by Sisifo Production, ERT – Emilia Romagna Teatro and Emanuele Aldrovandi, performed at Cowbarn as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Ten audience members are randomly chosen and may step on stage to begin a new life, receiving flowers that represent their energy. Year after year within the show's logic, they decide how to spend that energy — through love, ambition, security or risk. The rest of the audience shapes the world around them. When the flowers run out, their life ends. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely different theatre experience where the story is never the same twice. If you have ever wanted to shape the outcome of a show from inside it, this warm, funny and deeply human piece gives you and nine others exactly that chance.
