Chilliwack – On March 22, Ballet Victoria breathes new life into the classic gothic novel, creating a sensory feast that combines the athleticism of ballet with the allure of the supernatural! Set against a backdrop of hauntingly beautiful costumes and an energetic ballet, Ballet Victoria reimagines the story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
A captivating mix of classical and contemporary dance, Dracula weaves the two styles of choreography together to tell the story. Rather than focusing on the traditional story’s grisly aspects, the ballet emphasizes the inherent sensuality of the story and also uses the story as a metaphor for peoples’ choices. Set to music ranging from Elgar’s Cello Concerto to Sia’s “Chandelier” and even a few tracks from Guardians of the Galaxy, it will be unlike any ballet you’ve ever seen!
This evening will also open with a Gothic Soirée, where you are encouraged to dress in your own unique interpretation of Gothic style! Contortionists and music featuring The Valley Babes will fill the lobby before the show, where you can enjoy specialty drinks in this evening of fiendish romance.
Let yourself be swept up in this gripping story of lost love and intrigue!
