Equal parts unnerving and seductive, Eve of St. George is a voyeuristic and immersive recreation of Bram Stokerâs chilling tale of Dracula, scored by award-winning Canadian composer Owen Belton.Â
Upon arrival, guests don masks and are set free to roam the four levels of The Great Hall, re-imagined as a gothic Victorian setting for the stories of 16 characters to unfold.
Each patron decides their own path for the evening by choosing to follow a character, riffling through their personal effects as they travel through the building, or remaining in one room to watch what unfolds â and perhaps even personally interacting with a character.
Described by The Toronto Star as âa wonderful, disorienting, ethereal evening of immersive dance theatreâ and âluxurious evening entertainment,â Eve of St. George is similar to NYCâs acclaimed Sleep No More, and Transcen|Dance Project was the first to bring this type of interactive theatrical experience to Toronto.
Eve of St. George debuted as the first of its kind in Toronto with a sold-out run in 2018 and 2019. This re-mounting of the production will be Torontoâs last opportunity to see Transcen|Dance Projectâs Eve of St. George.
