Blanche Neige (2009)
Angelin Preljocaj's dark, narrative Snow White, filmed as a complete 90-minute choreographic work with the original company, a Mahler score and Jean Paul Gaultier costumes. Seven miners dance upside down on harness lines; the poisoned-apple scene is staged as physical assault rather than temptation.

The dance sequences in Blanche Neige
4 sequences — what is danced, by whom, and where to find it.
Lovers’ barefoot pas de deux
Contemporary BalletDanced by Nagisa Shirai; Sergio Diaz · Choreography Angelin Preljocaj
The stripped-back silence, audible bare feet and a love duet balancing playfulness with pain.
The duet begins with only the dancers’ feet sounding against the floor before Mahler enters, letting weight, circling and unusual lifts establish intimacy without dialogue.

Poison-apple assault
Contemporary BalletDanced by Nagisa Shirai; Céline Galli · Choreography Angelin Preljocaj
The Queen forcing the apple into Snow White’s mouth rather than simply offering it.
The familiar fairy-tale exchange becomes forceful physical theatre: the disguised Queen turns the apple into a point of leverage, dragging the movement from temptation into bodily violation.

Prince’s rag-doll revival pas de deux
Contemporary BalletDanced by Nagisa Shirai; Sergio Diaz · Choreography Angelin Preljocaj
Her body sliding from the angled glass slab into the Prince’s arms before awakening to Mahler’s Adagietto.
Snow White’s sustained limp weight makes the Prince’s hauling, lifting and slinging unusually demanding partnering, converting the Grimm revival into a violent, emotionally charged duet.

Seven miners on the vertical cliff
Contemporary BalletChoreography Angelin Preljocaj
Seven miners emerging from cliffside openings and dancing upside down on harness lines.
The ensemble turns the mine into a vertical dance plane, rappelling, swinging and reversing gravity while retaining coordinated contemporary-ballet phrasing.
