Ballet Company Of Győr, Nosferatu

Synopsis/Details

Nosferatu returns to walk among us: the renaissance of vampire stories on screen and stage is no coincidence, as they still encapsulate our deepest fears, desires, and questions about mortality. This latest production by the Ballet Company of Győr draws its inspiration from Bram Stoker’s gothic horror classic and uses the language of dance, startling visuals and unique perspectives to summon the dead man with a craving for life: Nosferatu. László Velekei’s choreography builds tension through a powerful musical collage, dramatic light-and-shadow play, and a stark, breathtaking visual world that brings to life the iconic creature who both repels and fascinates. Beneath the surface of gothic horror, the performance probes the great existential themes of love, death and responsibility, placing at its heart not a bloodthirsty monster, but a mystical being for whom immortality is a curse that brings forth a longing for the fragile beauty of human life…

The performance is recommended for those aged 12 and over.

Due to the use of strobe lighting and striking visual effects, the performance is not advised for anyone sensitive to intense lighting.

Venue

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest

When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.

The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
