The Sarasota Cuban Ballet presents Dracula

This narrative dance production interprets the classic vampire legend through classical and contemporary movement. Staged at the Sarasota Cuban Ballet School auditorium, the performance relies on the precise technique and athleticism characteristic of the Cuban training method. The choreography translates Bram Stoker's themes of seduction, pursuit, and Gothic horror into a physical vocabulary, mapping the psychological descent of the Count's victims. Rather than relying on dialogue, the dancers convey the mounting dread and romantic obsession through intricate pas de deux and aggressive ensemble work, bringing a stark, athletic intensity to the familiar folklore.
