Taking a leaf out of the Brothers Grimm original tale‚ in conjunction with Preljocaj’s influential background as mentioned earlier‚ Preljocaj attempts to twist this usually happy‚ Disney fairytale into a romantically dark thriller filled with serious societal undertones (Kourlas 2014). Snow White is no longer innocent‚ rather she
