The scene on this video shows the seven dwarfs from Angelin Proljocaj’s dance film, “Blanche Neige” (Snow White). The music is Mahler and suits the dance subject really well.
The ballet is really interesting. There are a few scenes I particularly like and this is one of them. Again Contemporary ballet is stretching it self. Instead of Sylphs flying across on cables we have troll like Dwarfs bounding and clambering about on the side of a mountain. I love that they crawl up and down the rock face in all directions a clever an unexpected touch enabled by cables and arielle dance influence.
It looks as though it would be fun to do, and is certainly entertaining to watch.
I hope you enjoy it to and be sure to pass it along!
