From the moment Blanche Neige begins - a pregnant, dying queen dragging herself across the floor and giving life to another in her own final moments - you know what lies ahead will challenge your preconceptions about the way Snow White's tale should be told. Yet as Angelin Preljocaj's ballet advances, dancers catapult you into a visually spectacular world, not necessarily challenging, but somewhat sexually provocative world that contrasts the light purity and innocence of Snow White with the dark desires of an evil queen. And despite the skin-clad costumes that seem more decoration than clothing, this production stays fairly true to the original Grimm fairytale.
