On Friday 10th and Saturday 11th October,
Contact will be hosting the Mark Bruce Company as they take to the stage with Dracula, an
“eerie, atmospheric and virtually flawless dance adaptation …that combines
savagery, melancholy and terrific athleticism”. The production will be
staged in association with Tobacco Factory Theatres, Pavilion Dance South West
and Wilton’s Music Hall.
“Welcome
to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you
bring.”
Jonathan Goddard plays the infamous Vampire Count,
whose sinister and ruthless ambitions challenge the very fabric of Victorian
society. As his victims and opponents rally against him they must face the
darkness and savagery within themselves.
Bruce's company of ten exceptional dancers bring Bram
Stoker's haunting, erotic tale to life in a heart wrenching and magical dance
theatre production. With an eclectic mix of music from Bach and Mozart to
Ligetti and Fred Frith, Bruce explores choreographic styles ranging from the
subtlety of classical etiquette to visceral contemporary dance.
Winner
of the prestigious South Bank Sky Arts Award for Dance, this critically
acclaimed production should not be missed.
