I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY will be a series of transmedia performances inspired by the creation of an original western operetta that tells the story of a father who ties his son to the last mountain lion in Texas. As the ensemble collaborates around this story, we will create music, dance, web, video, visual art and live performance that will come together in their exploration of the Western genre and its responsibility for the world's current state of affairs, including environmental trauma, societal violence, and the crisis of contemporary gender identity. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY will stretch our company to invent a new way of offering live performance to an increasingly "wired" art consumer.

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Rude Mechs is supported by the Texas Commission on the Arts and the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division
