HAVE A GOOD DAYHAVE A GOOD DAY

Have A Good Day! is minimalistic and conceptual work for 10 singing cashiers, supermarket sounds and piano. Centered around the inner lives of cashiers in a shopping centre, Have A Good Day! shows what lies behind their mechanical “Good afternoon!“, “Thank you!“, “Have a good day!” and fake smile. Faceless, robot-like shop workers found in everyday life are transformed into unique and lively characters. Set in a supermarket filled with a glinting and buzzing installation of the daylight lamps and environmental sounds linking the audience space and the stage with 10 cashiers. To avoid any moral or condemnatory suggestion, a critical attitude towards capitalism is expressed through humor, paradox, irony and poetry. The mosaic of different destinies is transformed into one poem suggesting the pleasure of consumption.
