Inspired by the legend of La Loba, a wild Wolf-Woman who wanders the world, collecting the bones of animals, humans and demi-gods that are in danger of being lost to the world and singing them back to life by moonlight. Macnas is an award-winning internationally acclaimed spectacle theatre company from Galway, Ireland. Productions are immersive and spectacular and the group's repertoire includes parades, theatre shows, installations, film and performance art.

Cnámha La Loba was performed in Galway city centre and separately in Dublin city centre as part of the Bram Stoker Festival programme and was attended over both nights by over 80,000 members of the public.
