Storyline

In this ballet version of Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale, Dracula (Zhang Wei-Qiang) arrives in London and performs a dance of seduction with the virgin Lucy (Tara Birtwhistle), whom he turns into a ravenous monster. Lucy's three suitors vow revenge even as Dracula stalks his next victim. When the trio's efforts prove counterproductive, professional vampire hunter Van Helsing (David Moroni) enters the picture and meets Dracula in a climactic battle.



Short Review

Guy Maddin's unusual take on Bram Stoker's story sets members of Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet against the director's version of a silent movie. The result is a hauntingly graceful vision of the late-Gothic novel, peppered with high camp.
