LUMEN Street Theatre's Fire and Shadows Parade, part of Limerick’s Halloween Festival Samhain, both wowed and cowed the large crowds in the city on Saturday night.
This year's theme introduced the Spirits of the Forest along with the illustrious Bishop’s Lady, the ghostly tale from the Bard of Thomond.
The experience took visitors on “an immersive journey through the realms of darkness and light, where spirits, mythical creatures, and ethereal beings converge, to mark the thinning of the veil between the living and the otherworld”.
Lumen Street Theatre strives to add to the vibrant artistic life of Limerick city and county, collaborating with local communities in co-creating “innovative and inspiring” works.
Lumen Street’s work is designed and created in the former Bannatyne Grain Store built in 1839 in the heart of Limerick city, where the space informs “new ways of interpreting stories of the past”.
Samhain: Limerick’s Halloween Festival and Fire & Shadows Parade is supported by Fáilte Ireland, the Arts Council of Ireland, and Limerick City and County Council.
