From this scenario raises the legendary story of Prince Vlad Dracul III (Dracula) of the order of the Dragon. Between fact and fiction, Chiara Ajkun’s ballet is an epic tale of passion, heroism, betrayal and war featuring Dracula’s explosive fights with Mehmet The Conqueror and his intense love nights with Mina.

"Inspired by the magnificence of the Ottoman Empire and the European efforts to save their lands, Chiara Ajkun brings onstage her story on the real Dracula. Her ballet is lush, brilliant, choreographically superb, and visually spectacular. Tafaj, beautifully supple, is a dream lover and a ferocious warrior with a sinister penchant for mind play. Burbine is delicately beautiful and elegant. Intrigues, danger, and love keep you glued to your seat."
