French choreographer ANGELIN PRELJOCAJ explores and reinvents the fascinating tale of the Grimm Brothers’ "Snow White" through a contemporary romantic ballet that has already attracted more than 150,000 spectators in France. The brilliant symphonies of Gustav Mahler surround the twenty-six dancers dressed in costumes designed by the ‘enfant terrible of fashion’ Jean-Paul Gaultier.
From the wonderful “pas de deux” to the dwarves’ acrobatic steps as they emerge from a troglodyte vertical wall, the choreographer offers an inspired interpretation of this classic. The richness of symbols throughout the tale such as the omnipresence of desire and the ineluctable power of time are incarnated in the iconic character of the devilishly wicked stepmother. “The understanding of symbols belongs to adults as well as children, and that’s why I like fairy tales”, says Angelin Preljocaj.
After making its premiere in September 2008 at the Biennale de la Danse de Lyon in France, the show received a Crystal Globe for the Best Dance Show of the Year in 2009.
Angelin Preljocaj - Choreographer
Born in Paris to Albanian parents, Angelin Preljocaj studied classical ballet before turning to contemporary dance, under the tutelage of Zena Rommett, Merce Cunningham, Viola Farber and Dominique Bagouet.
In 1984, he founded his own dance company - Ballet Preljocaj. His productions have become part of the repertoire of many companies, most notably the Ballet de l’Opéra National de Paris,
the Scala of Milan and the New York City Ballet.
He has received numerous awards, including the Grand Prix National de la Danse awarded by the French Ministry of Culture in 1992, the Benois de la Danse for "Le Parc" in 1995 and the Bessie Award for "Annunciation" and Les Victoires de la Musique for "Roméo et Juliette" in 1997.
