Within the play staged with motors, the behaviour of the objects ranges from the harmonic order to the chaotic and random movements resembling the mood of the human characters from Beckett's play. Toothbrushes pray, knives are killing time, an umbrella is opening and closing. The absurd is only emphasising the duality of despair and humour of daily routines. The play was staged outside of the theater building, at the Staeditsche gallery in Bremen.

The play “Happy Days” deals, amongst other themes, with the dullness of the repetition of daily rituals. Main characters of Beckett’s play are Winnie and Willy, a married couple.They are constantly present on the stage but extremely static, only using certain props to go about their day. These objects or rather props from the play take the stage and overshadow the performer.
