Part of the rainy days 2025 on -

Today’s music is overly intellectual? The 2025 festival rainy days grabs this cliché by the throat, choosing «bodies» as its theme. Bodies and physicality have always interested the arts. Especially in music, the subject is ambiguous, the idea that the body cannot do without spirit, nor the spirit without the body, more than a bon mot. The multitude of approaches to the body and bodies is reflected in the festival’s programme, once again designed for diehard fans of contemporary music and those who are simply curious alike, offering something for almost all age groups.

The music

  • Libby Croad, Trudie Gorman Chronically Hopeful

The artists

  • Musici Ireland
  • Siobhán Doyle violin

Chronically Hopeful is a new interdisciplinary production

by Musici Ireland that plunges the audience into the brutal, complicated and often misunderstood reality of chronic illness, invisible disability and neurological disorder. Conceived and performed by a team of artists who live these experiences on a daily basis, the piece blends music, contemporary dance, poetry, and the visual dimension to create a deeply human, uncompromising, and often darkly amusing portrait of what it means to live in a «sick» body in today’s society.

Musici Ireland production developed with funding from the Arts Council of Ireland, Culture Ireland, with support from the Mermaid Arts Centre
