They present processional, installation and ritual work ranging from intimate voyages, to large scale illuminated journeys that embrace the elemental energy of their Atlantic home.

Working always outdoors, often with small communities, LUXE continue to find new causes for celebration, break new ground, open up new spaces and explore new approaches to spectacle.

Their new commissioned performance – The Seas Above – is a spectacular illuminated, twilight procession taking place in Buncrana on Saturday 15th July and Leabgarrow, Árainn Mhór on Tuesday 18th July.
