AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'You are afraid to die? Yes, everyone is! But to die as lovers may – to die together, so that they may live together? Kle Zeyn Theatre’s fourth production at La Mama, Carmilla, is a ghost story for theatre, and takes place against the backdrop of a through-composed musical score. It is an adaptation of Sheridan le Fanu’s 1872 gothic novella which is widely acknowledged as the first literary vampire tale. Carmilla was a major influence on the entire history of the post-folkloric vampire genre.' (Production summary)
