Vortice Dance Company’s Dracula show on stage in Romania this September, during George Enescu festival

19 August 2013

The Portuguese Vortice Dance Company will bring their Dracula show to Romania this September. The show, a reinterpretation of Dracula’s myth, will be on at the National Opera in Bucharest, on September 16, 19:00, during this year’s edition of George Enescu classical music festival.

Portugal’s Vortice Dance Company was created in 2001 by directors and choreographers Claudia Martins and Rafael Carrico. Over the years, Vortice Dance Company has become one of the most prestigious Portuguese dance companies, their work being recognized by the public and critics from several countries, such as Japan, France, Spain, Italy, Finland, Denmark and Brazil.

For the Dracula show, the two choreographers have used several sources of inspiration, from Bram Stoker’s horror novel with the same title, to legends and myths from different cultures.  The show is a luxurious visual tale about submission and domination, featuring music by Philip Glass, Serghei Rachmaninoff and even Lou Reed.

The event is sold out, but those interested can still find tickets at Grand Cinema Digiplex, where it will be a live transmission of the show.

Held only once every two years, the George Enescu festival celebrates the work of the Romanian composer and brings some of the world’s finest orchestral musicians to the country. Over 150 events are scheduled to take place from September 1 to 28 for the 2013 George Enescu Festival, in Bucharest and several other cities – Arad, Bacau, Brasov, Cluj, Iasi, Oradea, Sibiu and Timisoara.
