Part barn dance, part Spaghetti Western movie-pitch, part thriller and slapstick comedy, Pursuit of Happiness starts in a Wild West saloon and ends on the battlefields of Iraq.

Admirers of New York's OBIE Award-winning Nature Theater of Oklahoma (NTO) will know to expect the unexpected, and the very best in contemporary performance.

The title refers to the three inalienable rights set out in the American Declaration of Independence; 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. As Donald J Trump vows to 'make America great again', the show's six characters set out in true gold-digger style in search of their own happiness, albeit in unusual and unfavourable circumstances.

OBIE award winning Nature Theater of Oklahoma from New York teams with EnKnapGroup, Slovenia's only permanent contemporary dance company. Founded by Iztok Kovac in 1993 in Ljubljana, it has a repertoire of over twenty five productions, and works with many Slovene and international choreographers and directors, at home and abroad.
