The Film:

VAMPIROS EN LA HABANA (Vampires in Havana)
Directed by Juan Padron
The concert will be followed by an 80-minute film, "Vampiros en La Habana" ("Vampires in Havana"), featuring a hot Latin Jazz soundtrack with legendary Arturo Sandoval. This hilarious spoof of horror and gangster movies, presented in an outrageously caricatured, bawdy style reminiscent of Fritz the Cat, features Professor Von Dracula, a vampire scientist who leaves Transylvania for Cuba, where he invents "Vampisol", a potion that allows vampires to survive in sunlight. When the Professor announces his intention to donate the formula free of charge to vampires all over the world, the Vampire Mafia from Chicago and the European Union of Vampires from Dusseldorf try to muscle in and steal the formula. The action escalates crazily as an assortment of bad guys, police, vampires and other monsters, as well as our hero with his girlfriend, are all caught up in the chase. Entertaining at many levels, the film is also a clever satire of political and military tensions between Cuba and its capitalist antagonists. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles.

Please note: This film is an unrated animated comedy, has adult content, and is not suitable for children. I would give it a PG-13+/R rating. Kids 12 and under are welcome to the concert portion of the show, for $5 (in advance or at the door). Ages 13 and up need a general ticket. General $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
