Choreography Mark Godden
Music Gustav Mahler - excerpts from Symphonies No.1, No. 2, No. 9
“The haunting and otherworldly Dracula is a sumptuous, erotically charged gothic ballet that transports the audience with its expressionistic, avant-garde images and seductive choreography.” John Alleyne
Burned into the public psyche over the past one hundred years, the name Dracula evokes dread and horror - but, most of all, fascination. A legend, a classic novel, the subject of countless movies since the earliest days of celluloid - Dracula is brought to life once again with Mark Godden’s inventive choreography. Complete with flying bats, dancing gargoyles and mysterious transformations, Godden’s Dracula is contemporary ballet at its atmospheric finest.
