Ek is dankbaar teenoor Tracy Li en Tasneem Allie dat hulle my na Kaapstad genooi het om my gunstelingproduksie weer op te voer.

Teen die agtergrond van Victoriaanse Engeland volg beide die roman en die ballet Jonathan Harker, \u2018n jong prokureur wat na Transsylvani\u00eb gestuur is om Graaf Dracula se eiendomstransaksies in Engeland te fasiliteer. Wat ontvou, is \u2018n verhaal van spanning, gruwel en die bonatuurlike, terwyl Dracula sy visier op Londen rig, met vroulike vampiere, donker intrige en \u2018n dramatiese stryd tussen goed en kwaad.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_162789\" style=\"width: 412px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162789\" class=\"wp-image-162789 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/rooirose\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/7-Lindsey-Appolis-402x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"402\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-162789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Foto: Lindsey Appolis<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>David vertel meer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Jou <em>Dracula<\/em> is die eerste keer in 1999 vir BalletMet geskep.

Ek het hom genader nadat ek besluit het om die ballet te doen om sy raad te kry. Hy het Schnittke onmiddellik voorgestel. Ek was aanvanklik senuweeagtig, maar nadat ek na sy eerste poging aan die begin van die ballet geluister het, verstaan \u200b\u200bek hoe briljant die idee was. Schnittke se musiek het die dualiteit van die vampier gehad, tegelyk pragtig en klassiek en dan verwronge en senuweeagtig. Soos met alle samestellings is dit moeilik om alles van een komponis te bereik. Rachmaninoff se wals komplementeer die Schnittke en die <em>Part<\/em> skep \u2018n ander w\u00eareld.

Hulle is oop, ontvanklik en ten volle betrokke by die werk. Hulle het baie minder hulpbronne as ander geselskappe, maar hulle het buitengewone gewilligheid. Hierdie ballet is meer van \u2018n mansballet met baie sterk manlike rolle. Die geselskap het tans \u2018n baie goeie groep mans en hulle is bereid om die fisieke aard en die karakterisering tot die uiterste te neem. Hulle het my verras met hoe ver hulle bereid is om te gaan!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Die ballet meng gruwel, sensualiteit en \u2018n stryd tussen goed en kwaad.

Ek het die ruimte skoon gehou en beperk tot net wat nodig is om die storie se aksie te plaas.
