What makes the shadowy figure of Nosferatu invade the peaceful German town of Wisborg, wreaking havoc among its residents? And why do they surrender to its terrifying presence so willingly? M Productions invites audiences to re-discover F.W. Murnau’s iconic 1922 German expressionist vampire film Nosferatu, reimagined for the stage by Johnny O at Fournos Theater.

Following the resounding success of ScarMface, which captivated theatergoers for two years at Olvio and Epikolono Theaters, M Productions returns with Nomsferatu, presented every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:00 PM at Fournos Theater. This new adaptation promises to be equally unforgettable.

A Tale of Shadows and Desire

At the heart of this theatrical reimagining lies Count Orlok, a sinister and reclusive figure who dwells in his isolated castle in Transylvania. Real estate agent Thomas Hutter, sent to arrange a property sale, is unaware that Orlok is a vampire with dark intentions. As Orlok becomes fixated on Hutter’s wife, Mina, he travels to Wisborg, spreading a plague-like terror along the way. Will Mina’s purity prevail, or will the darkness consume everyone, reducing them to mere vermin in a grotesque cycle of destruction?

A Bold Theatrical Vision

Director and playwright Johnny O presents his unique interpretation of the Nosferatu myth, blending the aesthetics of silent cinema with the raw intimacy of live theater. With over two decades of experience in silent techniques, Johnny O creates a captivating black comedy that emphasizes dynamic physical expression. Evocative projections by Giannis Karapiperidis seamlessly bridge the worlds of cinema and theater, creating a performance where movement and imagery speak louder than words.
