Guy Maddin's unique collaboration with the Winnipeg National Ballet is a mesmerising mix of breathtaking choreography, avant-garde film-making techniques and deliciously dark humour.

With its erotically-charged atmosphere and moody gothic edge, Maddin transforms and reinterprets Bram Stoker's original tale and brilliantly documents the acclaimed stage production, as choreographed by Mark Godden. Presented in his characteristic 'tinted' black and white style, the screen is brought to dramatic life with an array of commanding performances and the addition of lush splashes of colour.

Next to David Cronenberg, Guy Maddin is Canada's most extraordinary film-maker and his films are amongst the most unique ever brought to the screen. Here he brings you Dracula as you 've never seen him before...

Musica e luce, ma se la prima seduce e coccola, la seconda può anche uccidere. Nell`opera del regista canadese Guy Maddin, il mito di Dracula è trasposto attraverso un balletto orchestrato sulle sinfonie di Gustav Mahler: i ballerini del Bene e del Male roteano all`unisono, volteggiano sui loro passi di sfida. Il Mostro danza su note di oblio, tradisce la propria umanità nel suo ballo d`amore con Lucy, prende per mano la sua amata nel tentativo di portarla con sé al buio confortante delle tenebre in un`ultima, disperata piroetta. Opera vampirica unica nel suo genere, nel "suo" Dracula, Maddin dirige ed esalta le coreografie spettacolari del Royal Winnipeg Ballet, mettendo in scena l`orrore così come non lo si era mai visto prima, incorniciato da musiche e balli indimenticabili.
