dracula program

This program explores Vlad (Tepes), the Impaler/ Dracula’s, ageless historical figure and legacy. In addition to tracing Dracula’s footsteps at archeological sites, museums, and churches in Bucharest, we also visit Vlad the Impaler’s birthplace in Sighisoara and the Bran Castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Alongside Dracula, we will encounter vampires, ogres, ghosts, and creatures from another imaginary realm haunting the world of the living. Throughout the program, we will learn about the customs and experience cultural interactions within the national and linguistic borders of the still mysterious Romania and vampire haunted Transylvania. Beyond examining the historical Dracula, this program also offers an overview of the communist era (1945-1989), migration and ethnic tensions in today’s EU and beyond.
