Who is really more recognizable? Is it the beautiful Snow White, or the Dwarfs? Or maybe the Evil Queen, whose magical mirror never lies? Unless it's the mysterious Hunter, who has the task of killing the most beautiful being on earth? And what solution will the Dwarfs find to ensure everything ends well?

The ballet performance Snow White, performed by the dancers of Cracovia Danza Ballet, will attempt to answer these and other questions.

To the music of the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns and a piece created by artificial intelligence, the dancers of Cracovia Danza Ballet will tell a story that was published as early as 1812. The multimedia scenery utilizing the latest technological advancements with the use of AI will be an inseparable element of the spectacle, straddling the line between dream and reality.

Choreography by Dariusz Brojek in demi-classical style, along with elements of character dance and pantomime, will create a fairy-tale image, complemented by fantastic costumes designed by Elżbieta Wójtowicz-Gularowska.

On stage, we will see birds, dwarfs, abstract dance with apples – everything needed to stimulate the senses.

The driving force behind the entire action is morbid jealousy, which Jan Kochanowski already wrote about in his poem

On Jealousy

“Cursed Jealousy strangely worries,

When someone feels something above others.”
