2010台灣國際藝術節《白雪公主》

Choreographer/Angelin Preljocaj
Performed by Ballet Preljocaj

To tell a well-known story with dance and endow it with a new life is never an easy task, but French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj just loves this challenge. This reinvention of Snow White is unconventionally enchanting and not too abstract. To present a story through dance, Preljocaj brilliantly choose to combine dancers' visual narrative with Mahler's symphonies, creating a cinematic expression with romantic and pastoral atmosphere. In this contemporary ballet, you will see more focus on the real agenda in the story such as desire, the unforgiving power of time and aging, the strong impact of jealousy. Don’t forget to admire the costumes designed by legendary designer Jean Paul Gaultier and the set designed by Thierry Leproust, both are well balanced and powerfully strengthen the narrative.
