A large poster welcomed the audience: “Hella, the Human Cannonball!” Everyone came to witness the magic of that woman being shot out of a cannon. Once in flight, she would unfold her great wings and seemed to truly fly, free, light as a butterfly, and happy! Happiness and love don’t have a single form but follow many different paths. Hella will then discover that being happy doesn’t mean following a plan that seems preordained and laid out before her, and, above all, that happiness does not – and should not – depend on anyone else.But fate will never allow that creature to end up in the trash.
