A tale made by Stendhal 's team

No one knew at school Boody was the son of a Vampire....well...of a Vampire and of a human.
His mother, Lula, was a charming housewife, during the day...but at night...no one ever knew anything about her nights!!       

His father was Sebastiano Pirella, an Italian mechanic, a quite well-known one in the area, actually.
Boody was an only child, a peculiar one...
He knew every tricks to avoid to eat the food his mother every day, cooked for him: rare steaks...very rare, in a blood pudding! Lula was desperate about it, she feared her son wouldn't grow...but Boody was determined ...he hated that bloody food and threw it to his dog Budino, who waited under the table, to receive his favourite food!
Boody was very good at school, but...was not very loved by his classmates.                                       

He used to call them "Bui", his teacher of Italian recommended him to exercise to be able one day to pronounce properly that word...and many others, of course, even his own name ...Bloody...bulli...were Boody..bui or buies, he studied English and German at school with some efforts!!

Boody couldn't pronounce the L, what a Hell!!!

His problem caused him a sense of inferiority but somehow …
hid the possible "future" meaning of that name: Bloody....blood...!

Budino and his sincere nature helped Boody in his "peculiar" reaction to the Bloody steaks, but Boody was very sneaky and found another solution he called " the L Cure".

He started very early in his life, just after his mother's milk, to drink WOOLITE....SOFLAN...LANEL...MORBIDIL and eat  cereals, vegetables, legumes and rarely...fish!                                         

Boody was sure about it...if he assimilated the L, he would become smooth, soft and tender...like a lamb ...he loved lambs.. he loved animals...he was sorry for the fish...                                                   

During his adolescence, in his search for his identity, that bloody missing L, became a great problem.

A castle in Transilvania, next to Cluj-Napoca

Fergie walking up and down the dining-room of a romanian rich mansion. She is waiting for news about her husband she has lost in Roma.

Fergie (to herself): Vlăduţ Murray ! I hate you!

(to the public): It’s been three days since I’ve been waiting for him here! This castle is very nice, but after all … my husband should be here with me.And there is nothing I can do without his signature : nether sell, nor rent. I can’t even go back to London… I’m out of money. What a life he’s making me live! I’m afraid he won’t ever get here. How have I lost him in Rome ?

The butler: The lady needn’t worry. Lord Vlad is not going to be late.

Fergie: You have already told me that the other day ! And what do you know about it, after all ? There is no telephone here, it’s just this funny computer that I can neither use, nor shut down.

The butler: Don’t touch it, Madam ! It’s the Count’s computer.

This text was given by Riga's team just before C4 as a lead for the transnational play to write together

"My fear”

There are various fears. Children are afraid of the monster that sits under the bed, out of the darkness, sometimes from the terrible neighborhood boys, who walk around, staring nasty. Adults fear otherwise. They are afraid of war, which takes a loved one from the storms that destroy homes and brings hunger, they are afraid of the death of loved ones. But one of the worst fear is fear itself from itself - from their actions, thoughts and deeds.

Such fear of view, or rather, foresight takes me whenever I hear in the news once again for the dead at a recent skirmish there, as far back as in Iraq, or of thousands of ruined homes and families of tropical storm-stricken areas. It is hard to realize that in me the terrible news will not cause any special emotions - news of Latvian elephant Zuzītes nice living abroad or current dissent in the government of EU companies as calm and self-evident as the fact that Pakistan's small kiddies die behind famine and thousands of people is no longer a house, where to hide, now that winter is approaching. For this thought, I often scared to remain the same from you - how much am notrulinājusies against other misfortunes - that only have a roof over its head and something to eat. No, let alone just to eat! Good food and so that still remain over!

At Rigas' werewolf court

Hope and Vlad are with the speaker : (they stay hidden from the young ladies)

The speaker : Many young people nowadays dream to be popular and acknowledged on social networks like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter. For the most part they fear being unpopular among their peers. For the young and immature, it seems that popularity is driven by the amount of "likes", positive comments, followers and "shares". Many youngsters falsely assume that if you are absent from social networks - you do not exist! In attempt to popularize themselves, young people take photos and videos, sometimes of controversial nature, in order to post them on social media with the aim to outdo or at least to be in line with those influencing their views and opinions. Often they take hundreds of selfies in order to selects just one that seems more or less all right. At other times, chasing the terrific, challenging and attention grabbing selfies the young risk their lives.

This text was written before C4 by Ramona and the "Iulian Pop" team. It was a basis for a silent show that Romanian students played in Cesme. From this Transylvanian production was given us the idea to describe together a travel with some troubles to be overcome by a young vampire, this narrative becoming our transnational synopsis. Starting from London was a way to rewrite Bram Stoker's book. Sanita had the first indicated idea to make our characters to go from a country to another one in the same order we had conretely  follow in our partnership....

title : Make your choice

Our story is about you! A normal human taken by fears and courage like it’s in our real life.

The night is almost over, the alarm rings and it’s time to wake up.

As soon you wake up, the fear and the courage are catching you.

   “HOPE”: THE VAMPIRE

The character you can see in the transnational show was imaginated from this synopsis. Vlad's past looks like also to this Italian half vampire's one... It was supposed to be a male character  but casting would may us change... 

BACKGROUND

Hope is 16 years old when his parents die during a terrorist attack in London.

He is shocked and deeply upset. Because of his loneliness, he is scared by people although he is very well off and shouldn’t worry about his future. He doesn’t trust the estate manager who takes care of him and his properties and family investments, until his majority age.

In his childhood he had been weak and insecure, with an unstable health, very shy with everybody but with a strong bond with his mother. The relationship with his father had been sincere, based on respect and loyalty, they loved each other but his father was always absent for work, so Hope focused his world on the mother.
