Dracula: Bloodlines - A Story About Love & Sex And Life & Death
Over the century or so since Bram Stoker’s famous novel, the tale of Count Dracula has grown and grown. Through countless movies, novels, comics, cartoons and more, Dracula has practically seen it all and done it all. So what is it that about this character that makes him so popular? Why do people love Dracula so much?
For our interpretation of this classic characters story, we have decided to inspect the emotional and psychological aspects of love, sex, living a good life & accepting death. We are looking at focusing on the real life consequences that come from confusing such serious issues. Our goal is to use this story to help explore these difficult and emotional ideas as well as search for a possible path to dignity and redemption.
Many people often dream of a perfect lover or of an ideal life. Yet there are dark things in the world that can be very deceptive. It is sometimes too easy for love and sex to change a person... And even the wise can fall into a trap if iit is beautiful enough to them...
