Moths to a Flame

Dublin is famous for its light pollution. Moths mate in the absence of artificial light. What happens to moths around Dublin City when it's time to reproduce?

Inspired by the Darkness Manifesto, a book by Swedish ecologist Johan Eklöf, Moths to a Flame is an attempt to investigate why humans pollute their surroundings and could be the cause of their own destruction.

Moths to a Flame is an exorcism of sorts full of dark humor. It cheekily asks: Why do we do this ourselves?

Devised with actors Kate Byrne, Eimear Dolan, Lucy Mae Bean, Eva Carroll under the supervision of Louise Lowe.

Performed at The Lir Academy - Studio 2, March 2023, Dublin.
