A world premiere immersive contemporary reimagining of the 1931 classic film, featuring dance, live music, and theatrical storytelling with Phillip Glass's score.
Avant Chamber Ballet brings Dracula to Moody Performance Hall on Saturday, October 31, at 7:30 PM. It's a world premiere and a contemporary reimagining of the 1931 classic film, with choreography by Artistic Director Katie Puder and Philip Glass's score performed live on stage. The story unfolds through dance, live music, theatrical storytelling and striking visual design, and the production updates the original with modern costumes and scenery. You don't need any prior ballet experience to follow it, and it's suitable for audiences ages 10 and up.
Because the score is performed live, the music is as much a part of the evening as the dancing. Philip Glass's work is known for its repetitive, driving patterns that build and shift over time, and hearing it played in the room rather than recorded gives the whole thing a different energy. The production is billed as an immersive experience, so it's more of a theatrical event than a traditional ballet performance. It's aimed at ballet enthusiasts, fans of theatrical performance and classic literature, and anyone who likes live music.
