Essen Light Fes&shy;ti&shy;val

#6 Light & Blessing - Vitamorhpose 2.0 | Multi-sensual Light and Laser Installation

Artist group SilentMOD, Münster

Cathedral and Marktkirche, the two oldest churches in the city centre, open their doors again for the Essen Light Festival with the ecumenical action LIGHT & BLESSING. The two elaborate light installations by the artist group SilentMOD from Münster show the churches as they have never been seen before. Among other things, a walk-in light tunnel will be created with a light and laser installation. Chaplains will be on site during the festival. There will be live music on Fridays and Saturdays.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm

Location: Essen Cathedral
