EL CONDE DRÁCULA
THE OCHRE HOUSE has been proud to be a part of THE DALLAS FLAMENCO FESTIVAL, providing the perfect venue for this top-notch festival for the past four years. Past festival events presented by the DALLAS FLAMENCO FESTIVAL have been special nights of incredible Flamenco, singing, and music from world-class artists. Once again, THE OCHRE HOUSE and THE 2013 DALLAS FLAMENCO FESTIVAL are excited to collaborate, this time to present EL CONDE DRÁCULA, the riveting story of the infamous vampire, Count Dracula, written and directed by Matthew Posey.
EL CONDE DRÁCULA takes a unique approach to the Dracula Tale, as it takes place in sanctuary, in a small abbey in Spain where Mina Harker (DANIELLE GEORGIOU), Van Helsing (MITCHELL PARRACK) and Renfield (CHRISTIAN TAYLOR) meet on the sacred grounds of Dracula's first bride, Lilith (DELILAH MUSE). Dracula (ANTONIO ARREBOLA) comes to reclaim all that was his. The dance revolves around old rivals, new loves, and ultimate revenge - all expressed through the traditions of Flamenco and original theatre.
World-class Flamenco Dancers, DELILAH MUSE (Artistic Director of THE 2013 DALLAS FLAMENCO FESTIVAL), and ANTONIO ARREBOLA (also choreographer for EL CONDE DRÁCULA) are featured in this dark and sinister story of The Count. Internationally renowned Guitarist and Composer, RICARDO DIAZ has collaborated with violinist ANJELO CRUZ ALONTE to create original music for EL CONDE DRÁCULA. Come for an exciting evening of Flamenco, Music, and riveting Theatre. EL CONDE DRÁCULA is THE DALLAS FLAMENCO FESTIVAL and THE OCHRE HOUSE's second collaboration. THE OCHRE HOUSE is so looking forward to celebrating Flamenco with them once again.
