The company's style and methods, inspired greatly from various Asian and European avant guard theatre, give audiences wondrous spectacles of light, movement and sound. Given their quirk for re-inventing classical tales, there's no doubt this new production will give anything less.
Vikram the Vampire is a tale of adventure , seduction and madness. Adapted from the award winning production, The King and the Corpse and developed from a collection of Hindu tales, the story follows King Vikram and his journey to deliver a vampire to the evil sorcerer, Shantil.
