A fairy tale about a beautiful orphan princess and an evil stepmother who often asks the mirror who is the first beauty. Jealousy for the grown-up Snow White pushes the queen to an atrocity - she orders a servant to kill her in the forest, but the princess manages to hide in the dwarfs' house. The choreographer revealed this kind and instructive tale through classical choreography with elements of modern and grotesque dance.
