Description:
The play brings the idea of a vampire who is in love with the dawn. The play’s primary sources of reference are the classic “Nosferatu”, from F.W.Murnau and “The Theatre du Grand-Guignol”- a traditional theater genre in France at the end of the 19th century, a mix of horror and variety.

It employs a contemporary approach to the theme, making use of visual effects and original songs.

In this fantastic drama, Ulpir, the vampire, tries to rescue his human dimension and falls in love with the young Aurora. Louis, the cinematographer, brings up the memory of the tragic encounter him and the vampire had when they ended up nurturing a desire for the same lady and the immortality.

The show was the first one that was entirely developed by Artesanal in surround system 7:1.

The light design by Jorginho de Carvalho is very expressive, and it contributes decisively to highlight the multiple emotional games of the play.
