Macnas are excited to announce our brand new Halloween spectacle AN TREUN – THE SUMMONING OF THE LOST, a spectacular, shape-shifting parade inspired by a long-lost tale by Dracula author Bram Stoker and the haunting call of the vanished Corncrake.
Discovered last year in the archives of the National Library of Ireland, Stoker’s forgotten story flickers with folklore, magic and mischief. At its heart its sonic essence is something small, strange and precious: the Corncrake - once the summertime soundtrack of Ireland, now a ghost in our fields.
This incredible new parade explores how our culture, memory and climate intertwine and asks what it means to hold on to what we’re losing.
