The legend comes to life once again – not as the familiar Gothic tale, but as a contemporary clash between darkness and light within the human soul.
“Dracula” is a performance about the power of desire, about the temptation to dominate and to be dominated, about the fine line between love and obsession.
On stage unfolds a mysterious and at the same time sensual universe, where every encounter is a duel, every kiss a danger, and every secret can turn into a weapon. Dracula reveals not a monster, but an archetype in which our fears and desires are reflected – magnetic, contradictory, both predator and prey.
Director Stayko Murdzhev’s production does not repeat familiar clich?s, but reimagines the myth through the theme of obsession. It presents it as a clash between desire and reason, between fear and temptation.
The audience is drawn into a constant tension – between beauty and horror, between attraction and repulsion. The stage transforms into a labyrinth of light and shadow, where nothing is as it seems.
