Introducing Rua, the plucky little red squirrel who’s little paws were all over the Dublin Winter Lights in 2022.
Rua’s story tells the tale of her journey across the city to get home for Christmas and the cast of characters she meets along the way.
Told across multiple mediums, including a physical book available in all DCC Libraries, a giant projection in George’s dock, mapped projection in Merrion square and wrapped around the Spire, each verse brings us to a new location on the Dublin Winter Lights trail.
