WHEELING W.Va — Calling all fans of live theater and circus performances, as The Vampire Circus is heading to Wheeling, W.Va.
The 90-minute production is said to combine elements of the traditional circus, theater, and cabaret with a Tim Burton twist, creating a world of mystery, dark comedy, and supernatural fun.
International performers who are skilled in acrobatics, gymnastics, contortion, juggling, and dance have come together to create a performance that extends far beyond the traditional stage.
The production story is set in 19th-century Bohemia and follows Count Dracula as he plots world domination. It just so happens The Vampire Circus is the perfect guise to travel around the world unnoticed and begin his reign of terror.
The Vampire Circus takes things a step further by making this theatrical performance an immersive one, which has been described as “plunging guests into a deep hypnotic state while breaking the fourth wall”.
Head to the Capitol Theatre on Oct. 17 for some deadly amusement — you won’t want to miss it.
