DRACULA infected at Sensemble Theater: When the myth comes alive in Augsburg
With DRACULA infected, Sensemble Theater presents a world premiere that shifts Bram Stoker's material into a nervous present. Sebastian Seidel tells a story of fear, public life, and the question of how a society responds to a threat that is not clearly defined but felt all the more intensely. The premiere is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 8:00 PM at Sensemble Theater Augsburg. ([sensemble.de](https://sensemble.de/spielplan?utm_source=openai))
An evening between press conference and heartbeat
The material begins with a press conference and develops into a theatrical tension that goes far beyond classic vampire horror. At the center are not only Dracula and his shadow kingdom, but also the mechanics of fear that condense in language, body language, and public perception. The production draws its friction from political coloring, grotesque humor, and a theatrical perspective that does not adorn the myth but sharpens it.

The Sensemble as a fitting resonance chamber
Sensemble Theater is considered a free Augsburg stage focusing on contemporary theater, world premieres, and independent formats. The house has been working in the cultural factory in the textile district since 2000 and is known for an intimate, immediate stage experience. This proximity suits a piece that relies on density, reactive energy, and precise acting artistry. The audience does not experience a distant spectacle here, but a close interplay of space, voice, light, and audience reaction.

What makes the production special
After major works such as Hamlet, Frankenstein, or Messiah, the ensemble now turns to Dracula, creating a bridge between classic and present. The official announcement refers to a world premiere and identifies Sebastian Seidel as the author. With this, the piece aligns with the house's tradition of reinterpreting literary sources not just as retellings, but with dramatic sharpening, contemporary relevance, and theatrical delight.
