Dance Of The Vampires
In Words And Pictures
Act II (continued)
10th Scene: BALLROOM
Alfred and the Professor knock out two vampires and join the party disguised in their
costumes. Count Krolock introduces Sarah to the guests and announces that he has a
special delicacy for them: two scholars trapped in the castle. He dances with Sarah and
bites her willingly proffered throat. Alfred and Abronsius talk with her during the ensuing
minuet. She has lost a good deal of blood but is still alive. The vampires, who approach
the mirrored wall while dancing, suddenly notice that only Alfred, Sarah, and the
Professor are reflected in it. Count Krolock commands them to suck the trio dry. Alfred
and the Professor manage to escape by the skin of their teeth, taking Sarah with them.

11th Scene: WILDERNESS
The trio have escaped into the starlit night. The lovers embrace while Professor
Abronsius takes out his notebook and starts jotting down scientific observations, far too
absorbed to notice what's happening behind him.
