‘On the Night Journey’ tells the story of the 15ft high Boy Explorer as he parades his hopes and dreams, his past and present, the new and the familiar through the city streets.
The October parade was a celebration of the companys work over the past four years with themes and characters revistited, revived and reimagined. Artistic Director Noeline Kavanagh brought together images of animals and myth, through four separate themes drawn from the four parades she directed in Galway, together with new costumes, new music and hundreds of local volunteers to create a new and dynamic work with a clear and positive message.
