Dracula
Budapest, Nemzeti Táncszínház
What do we sacrifice on the altar of youth? The Hungarian National Dance Ensemble's dance-play for adults reflects on the great question of our time, which, unlike the classic Dracula story, takes place in a Transylvanian village inhabited by Hungarians and Romanians.
The neighborhood, terrified of the bloodthirsty vampire, lives in fear: men are afraid for their love, fathers are afraid for their daughters, from the mysterious creature, which attracts enchanted women like a magnet and sucks up fresh, life-giving energies. However, stolen youth is fleeting, only hunger is eternal...
Dracula's fascinating tale is made into a magical experience by the wonderful world of Transylvanian folk music, the rich and unique virtuosity of the dances of the peoples living in Transylvania.
