Ballet Flamenco La Rosa Presents El Conde Dracula
Nov 24, 2018 & Nov 25, 2018 - at 8:00 PM - English
Ballet Flamenco La Rosa presents the World
Premiere of El Conde Dracula. Created and choreographed by Artistic Director of BFLR, Ilisa Rosal,
this work was inspired by Bram Stokers’ Dracula.
This potent and vivid Flamenco Ballet connects with this timeless material
to create a new incarnation of what is probably the most definitive work in
this genre. In the play, a young lawyer (Jonathan Harker) is assigned to a gloomy
village in the midst of Eastern Europe. Harker is captured and imprisoned by
the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London, inspired by a photograph of
Harker's betrothed, Mina Murray.

In Britain, Dracula begins a reign of
seduction and terror, draining the life from Mina's closest friend, Lucy
Westenra. Abraham Van Helsing, the archenemy of Count Dracula, adds a special
twist to the story, as Lucy's friends gather together to try to drive Dracula
away. This production features 12 dancers and musicians, including six top
artists directly from Spain led by Special Guest Artist Pepe Flores, one of the
most important artists of his time, in the role of Count Dracula. He will be
joined by dancers Agustin Barajas, Juan Mateo and
Fran Bas along with singer Luis Moreno and guitarist Miguel Aguilera, who will
create and perform original vocals and lyrics for the work. The story and characters help audiences relate to what is being
expressed by the music and dance, which becomes a universal language. It
creates an exciting and inspiring theater experience.

The Ekphrasis Project is an immersive, site-specific performance, conceived and branded by Dance NOW! Miami Artistic Directors and Choreographers Diego Salterini & Hannah Baumgarten. Ekphrasis creates dialogue between choreography and visual arts. The performances are unique, migrating events, where the audience is guided from station to station and drawn in to a multi layered arts experience—a forum for exploring the connections between performance and visual arts or architecture. The work presented is designed directly and inspired by the works on display, and can only be performed as such. It is not a dance performance in a museum, but instead, a unique iteration of the artwork through dance.
