Creatures of Habit
By Lily Akerman and Tom Lane

Creatures of Habit is a song cycle about how to live when your everyday decisions contribute to ecological collapse

What actions matter?  
Why is it so hard to do anything, even when we stand to lose everything?
How can people change?

Five singers and a piano contemplate these questions, giving music to existential crises.

Premiered at the Cork Opera House as part of Cork Midsummer Festival 2024.

Funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
