A 24-hour marathon of music and screenings. A musical reflection on today’s economy, filled with discussions, concerts, animated films and a sleepover. A day of absolute happiness. And then what?

The current economic system is being put to the test and a key question arises: are we actually happy with it? The interdisciplinary project “Happiness Machine. 24 Hours of Bliss with the Klangforum Wien” revolves around the alternative economic model created by Christian Felber: The Economy for the Common Good. The performance reaches far beyond the classical concert format, consisting of a 24-hour music marathon and parallel film screenings.

Ten female film-makers and ten female composers from Europe join forces to create ten short films about the possibility of a new economic model. Through animated films, concerts, performances and discussions, the Klangforum Wien invites the audience to enjoy the art of music, sparking conversations between musicians, performers, speakers and guests on the future of the Western World.

“The Economy for the Common Good” is a sustainable economic model aimed at social cohesion, as stated by the European Economic and Social Committee, to be included in the European and domestic legal framework.

The ten short films discuss the power of the existing economic model that produces social exclusion and address the need for a new economy based on solidarity, partnership and mutual trust. A fantasy video game, a Grimm brothers story, and archival material from the July Revolt of 1927 in Vienna form the raw material for creating a cinematic language that speaks of the here and now, through the art of animation.
