The Happy Pill Circus is an event hosted by the Primate Fiasco in conjunction with the community. This is not a typical concert, but more of a party which encourages the audience to participate in physical art found around the room as well as performance art on the dance floor and stage. The goal of the evening is, with the help of the audience, a fun and positive atmosphere where everyone comes together to create something that can only happen once, and can't be experienced via television.

Aside from the Primate Fiasco's explosions of Psychedelic Dixieland, the event is also packed with sideshows ranging from your typical circus routines such as juggling and contortion, to the unusual pleasures like Hula Hoops and audience generated art. The Happy Pill Circus is also the home of the BS DANCE CONTEST where audience members dance as ridiculously as they can to win prizes from local businesses.

The Happy Pill Circus is intended to be launched every few months or so. In the near future, it will take to the road. Come be part of it. It literally won't be the same without you.

Audience Generated Art

The audience will be welcome to add their ideas to collaborative works of art found around the room.

For example: The refrigerator door with special Happy Pill vocabulary, or Fiasco Cam (a series of disposable cameras hanging from strings around the dance floor). There's usually facepaint donated by the Guild Art Center on Main St Northampton to allow audience members to become circus clowns. Etc.
