BOREALIS: Bram Stoker Festival brings The Northern Lights to Dublin.

The Northern Lights is coming to Dublin!
A mesmerising installation will bring the experience of an aurora borealis to Dublin Castle’s Upper Courtyard every night during Bram Stoker Festival 2022.
BOREALIS, an artwork by Swiss artist Dan Acher, has wowed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Its lush visuals and soundscape utterly transform the skies over spectators’ heads, and time seems to slow down as eyes look up at the mesmerising lights in a breath-taking experience of true awe and wonder.
Throughout the ages, humankind has been in awe of this natural phenomenon in the night sky; in some cultures, these flickering, dancing lights were seen as a sign of impending doom; in others, they were thought to be ancient ancestors communicating with their living descendents. Indeed, Stoker references dark clouds, strange weather and unexplainable lights in the sky to foreshadow the doom and destruction unleashed by Dracula in Whitby and beyond.
Combining a tranquil soundtrack with colourful, moving light beams in a blend of technology and art, Borealis inspires shared emotions in the centre of a city by creating something truly magical and surprising - something that shouldn’t naturally be there - and creates a sense of community by bringing together people from all walks of life for this truly unique experience.
This spectacular immersive installation, inspired by the Northern Lights, will light up the skies over the Upper Courtyard in Dublin Castle.
