Breakdown is a fascinating portrait of the lives of three performance artists attempting to perform ground-breaking work. The artists are forced to battle the societal, physical and emotional breakdown of their worlds and the world around them in order to triumph.

Featuring vocal students and graduates of DIT Conservatory and the DIT Symphony Orchestra. Prelude performance by the DIT Symphony Orchestra of Paul Alday’s Grand Symphony for a Full Orchestra, one of the first known symphonies composed in Ireland (c1816). Breakdown celebrates the 125th Anniversary of DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama.
