Creature of Habit

By Sophie May Healey

Presented as part of Azimuth Theatre's Expanse Festival - Works In Process Series

Alienation. Transformation. Beautiful rage. Creature of Habit is a solo piece that is in part clown, dark comedy, satire, and cabaret. It tells the story of an isolated young woman as she tries to find ways to cope with her loneliness, which proves to be quite difficult. Time is passing rapidly outside, but it seems to move at a snail’s pace in the confines of her apartment. She finds herself approaching a good old fashioned descent into madness, and must find a way to free herself from her demons before she becomes one herself.

What Is the Inspiration For Your Piece?

I'm inspired by tales of transformation, and the many wonderful and terrible transformations that one can experience. I'm inspired by feminine masks of Noh, Franz Kafka, and people who write articles about their internet addictions.
