Blanche Neige is the first full length story ballet by French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj. The story is based on the Grimm fairytale and is set to music by Gustav Mahler with costumes by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and set design by Thierry Leproust.

Blanche Neige opened in France in 2008 and won the 2009 Globes de Cristal award for the best Dance Spectacle of the Year. The ballet has toured throughout Europe, and will visit the U.S. for the first time this spring. The company will be in residence for an entire week and it will take a full four days to load the immense and technically demanding production into the venue.
