The Vampire of Rio | Rotunda Theatre

Dates/Times/Venue/Location

Mon 17 to Sun 23 Aug @ 6:15pm, SQUEAK - Edfringe

 

A psychological solo performance inspired by a true-crime case that examines violence, trauma, and the social conditions that can contribute to extreme human behaviour. Directed by Jenn O'Brien and written by award-winning novelist Tiago Santiago, the production avoids sensationalism in favour of a deeply human and reflective approach. In the play, Haysam Ali delivers a powerful dual performance as Brazilian serial killer Marcelo Costa de Andrade and the psychiatrist assigned to analyse him – two opposing voices guiding the audience through a disturbing and thought-provoking narrative about cycles of violence, trauma, morality, and society itself.
