El Conde Dracula

Created and choreographed by Artistic Director of Ballet Flamenco La Rosa, Ilisa Rosal, the piece was inspired by Bram Stokers’ Dracula.

This creation of a potent and vivid Flamenco Ballet, connects with this timeless material to create a new incarnation of what is probably the most definitive work in this genre. The performances will take place on Saturday, November 24, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 25, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. at the historic Colony Theatre on Miami Beach.

This production features 12 dancers and musicians, including six top artists directly from Spain led by Special Guest Artist Pepe Flores, one of the most important artists of his time, in the role of Count Dracula. He will be joined by dancers Agustin Barajas, Juan Mateo and Fran Bas along with singer Luis Moreno and guitarist Miguel Aguilera, who will create and perform original vocals and lyrics for the work. The story and characters help audiences relate to what is being expressed by the music and dance, which becomes a universal language. It creates an exciting and inspiring theater experience.

Generations of audiences have been enthralled by this quintessential myth of terror and temptation and the struggle between good and evil. It speaks to our search to understand the essence of strength, love, passion, seduction, loyalty, honor, heroism, the supernatural, the spiritual and the profane.
