This darkly humorous, delirious mélange of ballet and blood was filmed with the Royal Winnepeg Ballet from the ballet Dracula, adapted from Bram Stoker’s novel. Shot on black & white Super-8 and 16mm then refilmed and otherwise reworked, this is an otherworldly tale of foreignness, lust and female sexuality that explores the languages of silent cinema and dance in a colour-splashed pas-de-deux.“More rhapsody than narrative, less motion picture than shadow play.” The Village Voice, N.Y.
