"The world is an
uneasy mix of dark history and modern society, where the supernatural is pitted
against modern science, and madness against supposed rationality. Zen Zen Zo is a tight ensemble, and the story
of Dracula is well-suited to the company's characteristically striking visual
and physical style. The nightmarish
tensions of the Gothic horror classic are writ large by the performers'
high-impact energy and the production's spectacular design."
RAVE MAGAZINE, 2007.
A
radical reinvention of Bram Stoker's classic Gothic horror story, Dracula explored issues of gender, sexuality, and desire. Driven by the chorus of ten Bygone Women
bound by 19th century conventions and corsets, and the three
unleashed Brides of Dracula, this new adaptation drove inexorably towards its
bloody end. Staged as a part of the IN
THE RAW Studio Season, this was the first production to take place at the Zen
Zen Zo company's home - the glorious Old Museum Building in the heart of
Brisbane.
