22 June – 14 August 2011 in Mannerheim Park

Magical variety show of a vampire crazy in love has begun

Do you have the appetite for an intimate evening with Count Dracula? The stories of love and courage are set to take place in the Spiegeltent Theatre, at the Mannerheim Park in central Turku.

Secret fantasies which pervade our imagination will be revealed as the Cirque Dracula love story unfolds. International circus performers, many of them with experience at the Cirque Du Soleil, will passionately present the Count’s story using spectacular somersaults, acrobatics and kung-fu.

Count Dracula is portrayed by acrobat-actor Ebon Grayman. Yoga-comedian Kotini Junior offers some comic relief in the role of Dr Van Helsinki. Singer Riikka Sirén enchants the audience with her velvety voice. Local Turku talents presents their amazing skills while jumping off the Russian bar.

Slava Volkov, a world champion in sports acrobatics, coaches the acrobats, and composer Corinne Kuzma sets the tone for the event. The performance is based on an original idea by trapeze artist Pauliina Räsänen allowing Director Minna Vainikainen to knit together stories of love and courage.

The performance is not recommeded children under the age of 13.

The event is produced by ArtTeatro Ltd.
