Blanca Nieves

A tragicomic retelling of the Brothers Grimm tale, set in a circus in the early twentieth century, with puppets and a musical score by Arturo Díez Boscovich.

This production reinterprets the Brothers Grimm tale from a tragicomic register. Director and playwright Ángel Calvente signs its poetic and visual universe, and the musical composition is by Arturo Díez Boscovich. The story takes place in a circus at the beginning of the last century, where puppets, dreams and obsessions shape the tale starring Snow White.

The plot follows a girl who grows up in the Circo Luna, alongside her father and a troupe of performers, until a series of tragic events leaves her alone and in the care of a new family figure. Between magic and reality, potions, poisoned apples, a forest of poplars and hawthorns and giants in top hats appear, in a story marked by jealousy, envy and mistreatment within the family.

The show, co-produced by El Espejo Negro and Teatro del Soho CaixaBank, addresses the rejection and suffering endured by children and adolescents within the family, with a message of hope. It is staged at the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank, a venue in Málaga that hosts shows.
