“I am Dracula. I bid you welcome.”

Imagine a world where you can only go out after dark, where you feel a constant hunger for human blood but where for all eternity you will appear young and beautiful. Welcome to the world of Dracula.

A creature who should inspire repulsion in every living thing but who has seduced countless generations, Dracula is possessed of a mesmerising sexuality which fascinates us all.

“I am the monster that breathing men want to kill. I am Dracula”

Choreographed by David Nixon, this new ballet reveals the tormented world of the immortal Count. Images and moments from Bram Stoker’s legendary novel are brought alive in sensuous and sinister dance and theatre uncovering our most basic desires and fears.

What would you give to live forever?

David Nixon's Dracula had its European Première at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Fri 2 - Sat 10 Sept 2005.
