Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#7 | Mirror Mirror on the Ball | Light installation

Dennis Nolda, Richard Röhrhoff, Essen, Germany | Music: Daniel Kurniczak

Lights like hundreds of children's eyes. A playground of light, a sparkle, a laugh, a cry after a small fall - and on it goes. The fascination of light is carried across the Burgplatz by a giant mirror ball, setting everything around it in a completely new light - with changing colours and in motion like the leaves in the autumn wind. Experience the XXL sandpit on the Burgplatz in a completely new, unusual and whimsical setting.

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

Location: Burgplatz, XXL-Citysandpit
