Dublin City Council Bram Stoker Festival is back, and this year marks the return of the Macnas parade.
Working with Macnas, a renowned theatre company from Galway, the parade brings audiences on multi-sensory journeys, conjuring up magical-realist worlds brimming with giants, nymphs and mythological creatures....
La Loba, a towering witch adorned in skulls, will roam Dublin's streets, collecting bones of forgotten deities and humans. With her loyal wolf, she revitalizes these bones by weaving an enchanting song into them. La Loba serves as a reminder of our past selves. Macnas is returning to Dublin for a night of magical artistry, where the past and present merge in a captivating performance!
