The newly refurbished Leeds Playhouse receives Northern Ballet’s Dracula and is the first production to be hosted in the revamped Quarry Theatre. Dracula is the company’s revival since this production first premiered four years ago at the very same venue.
Many know Dracula; a dark Gothic vampire classic with the per se themes and connections and many adaptations, film and stage, have been created, aired and staged. David Nixon, the artistic director, commits to focussing on two key themes, humanity and love which forgoes the definitive and prescriptive conventions around good and evil, dark and light and right and wrong. This thorough focus doesn’t however compromise the well known consensus and spirit of the story.
Northern Ballet takes pride in refreshing every revival since its first ever production and this one sees a change to the opening scenes, its new costumes and also the new staging is bolder and more contrasting. Opportunities are given for each artist/dancer to uniquely interpret and portray their given roles in each performance which certainly adds dimension, dynamics and ownership to this production.
Set to Alfred Schnittke’s wonderful musical score with additional pieces from Arvo Pärt, Sergei Rachmaninov and Michael Daugherty; this production comes alive with drama and projection from the cast with choreographic and co-ordinated integrated movement and dance. Ali Allen’s dark and stunning stage sets, combined with Tim Mitchell’s sombre but ingenious lighting and Nixon’s costumes, compliments the performance of dancing and storytelling.
The most memorable scene must be the seductive draw and love between Dracula (Javier Torres) and Mina (Abigail Prudames). They perform beautifully, intimately, collectively in slow mirrored sequences to Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel. The musical composition connects both characters longingly and lovingly to universal boundaries which are neither conditional nor conventional.
Under the direction of Nixon, the cast has successfully delivered with Torres and Prudames leading the way and support from Antoinette Brooks-Daw and Lorenzo Trossello as Lucy and Jonathan respectively. Dracula has a total focus from beginning to end. It has everything from intricate dancing, dramatic storytelling, emotional expression and ecstatic entertainment.
This production offers more than just a story or dancing with a universal need of love and humanity. It is encouraging to see that more and more people are able to access Dracula this season as it is scheduled to be screened live in cinemas nationwide this Halloween.
