What would you do if you could decide on someone’s actions? ‘So happy I could die’ is an immersive and participative theatrical event that takes you through the events of the protagonist’s life that slowly leads to their death. The audience will collectively decide the protagonist’s actions—will they come to terms with it? Or will they continue avoiding it as much as they can?
The performance was idealised from the production team’s introspections on the happiest moments of their lives. In these fleeting moments of euphoria, would they have any regrets if life ended then and there?
Explore the set outside of performing hours to get a closer look at the project’s world and themes at its exhibition. Immerse yourself in the designs and you might get some hints at what are the consequences of some actions.

With that in mind, Six invites you to celebrate 50 years of hip hop at Mayhem Jam. Party the night away with the best tunes that take you through decades of hip hop culture and how it has evolved.
