It is the age-old story of the Man in the Moon that will be brought back to life at the Essen Light Festival. Essen artist Leo Namislow, at the idea of festival director Richard Röhrhoff, has created his very own Man in the Moon, animated by Daniel Kurniczak. The three creative artists offer you a wondrous and funny journey through the day of the Moon Man. You can feel, dance and laugh along!
Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm
Location: Burgplatz
Essen will shine brighter than ever as part of the IMAGINE PEACE Project — a European Union co-funded collaboration celebrating cultural diversity, peace, and sustainability across five European cities: Brixen Waterlight Festival, Essen Light Festival, Copenhagen Light Fest, Fjord Oslo and Visualia Festival Pula.
7 Artworks will be shown among the 5 European Light Festivals starting this September until April 2027.
Join us as we illuminate the path toward a better tomorrow through transnational art, community, and connection.
