Get a sneak peek at theatre dybbuk’s next project, in which they investigate Bram Stoker’s Dracula, weaving together their unique blend of historical investigation and heightened theatricality to create a new work from the core of the novel. The project, set to premiere in Los Angeles in September 2025, explores such questions as: How do long-held prejudicial beliefs show up in a popular novel from England written at the turn of the 20th century, and in what ways do those beliefs still operate today? To what extent can perceptions of antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia be deemed as accurate and true, and how much is in the eye of the beholder?  

This event includes approximately 75 minutes of performed readings from the in-process work and will be followed by a discussion with the audience.  

If you are planning to visit the Museum while attending this program, please do so beforehand. The program will begin at 7pm, the Museum will be open to the public before. Admission to the program includes a Museum visit prior to the program start time.

About theatre dybbuk:  

theatre dybbuk creates provocative new works that blend physical theatre with poetry and music for exciting, utterly singular live events. The company explores the rich world of Jewish history, building lyrical performances that illuminate universal human experience for contemporary audiences. With an in-depth development process that can range from a few months to three years, Artistic Director Aaron Henne builds each piece with a cast of dedicated professional actors, designers, musicians, and scholars. The resulting works, from the dark and visceral dance theatre of cave… a dance for lilith to the shadowy and immersive hell prepared: a ritual exorcism inspired by kabbalistic principles, performed within a dominant cultural context, are challenging and beautiful to behold.
