A castle, a house, an institution. It is the place where everything has happened. The domicile of an immortal creature, Nosferatu, who has endured the centuries, who cannot die, and is forced to perpetually remember the eternal killing. Those who encounter her must confront the unspeakable within themselves. First, there is Harker, who embarks on a journey to the castle of the mysterious countess and soon finds himself a prisoner there. Then Lucy and her mother, Mina, a doctor, and the patient Renfield. They are all bound to the phantom Nosferatu and to the place where numerous horrors have taken place for a long time. Trapped in their memories, the time levels blur together, creating a panopticon of horror. What is the monstrous within us? What can we oppose to it?

NOSFERATU is the second work by Australian director Adena Jacobs at the Burgtheater after DIE TROERINNEN. Visually powerful and poetic, she addresses the elusive fear that manifests in Nosferatu both then and now. With a text by author Gerhild Steinbuch and quotes from Bram Stoker's "Dracula," Jacobs interprets the novel in a new way and leads the audience into a nightmarish landscape.
