It’s Desperate Housewives by way of Tim Burton and Lemony Snicket in this little community, where women and their daughters dress in matching pastels and popularity is a never-ending cause for anxiety.
In Zen Zen Zo’s production of Dracula, the clash between sexuality and religion, between modernity and tradition, between change and uniformity, is explored and explodes into a deliciously innovative piece of performance.
Expanding what had previously been a ‘work-in-progress’, the hour-long performance is both simple and complex and - above all - completely mesmerising.
This semi-absurd, quintessentially Australian piece is multicultural, multilateral and multifarious – resulting in a performance that has a little bit of everything, but not a great deal of that special something.
