Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary
HorrorMusicbased on novel or bookvampireballetgothic horrorsilent filmexpressionism19th centurydracula
A visually sumptuous, expressionistically stylized ballet adaptation of Dracula that prioritizes atmospheric dread and formal beauty over narrative clarity.
A cinematic version of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's adaptation of Bram Stoker's gothic novel Dracula. Filmed in a style reminiscent of silent Expressionist cinema of the early 20th century (complete with intertitles and monochrome photography), it uses dance to tell the story of a sinister but intriguing immigrant who preys upon young English women.
