When the night falls, Graf Spekulat goes out willing to relieve his sorrow. Sometimes he makes his presence felt as a gust of wind, sometimes he appears as a graceful lord, sometimes people say he is a monster. Lonely and tormented as a vampire, passionate, inventive and vulnerable as a human, every night he performs in the hope of finding his first and only love.
Graf Spekulat is a dark and intimate solo performance by Ibon Goitia, exploring toxic love, emotional hunger, and obsession. Using vampirism as a metaphor, the show dissects destructive relationship patterns with irony and tenderness, inviting us to reflect on our own shadows. Blending clowning, shadow theatre, magic, and live music, this charming vampire confronts us with an uncomfortable question: who is feeding on whom?
