Ballet by Kenneth Tindall
Spawn of the devil or immortal idol? The most famous vampire in literary history, from Bram Stoker's 1897 horror novel, becomes a 21st-century fashion design god who feeds on the talent of young people and the beauty of others to satisfy his hunger for immortality. His intoxicating world unfolds on catwalks and in studios, in his bedrooms and self-destructive ambitions for genius, eternal youth, and love. A modern vampire myth that takes us on a dance journey to our most primal desires for life, blood, and death.
Kenneth Tindall, one of the outstanding British choreographers of the younger generation, has won numerous awards and captivates audiences in Great Britain, Europe, and the USA with his opulent historical ballet Casanova, among other works. With his creation Dracula, Tindall now makes his debut in Germany. With this full-length narrative ballet, featuring an original composition by Alexandra Harwood performed live by the Badische Staatskapelle, the Staatsballett Karlsruhe is further expanding its programmatic focus on narrative ballet theater.
