The Grimm fairy tale about Snow White and the seven dwarfs forms the basic structure of the performance, while the motive from 'The picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde, adds to the fairy tale the notion of beauty as enchantment and curse. Finally the lives and conditions of the performers themselves create other stories, that intertwine in the well known structure of the fairy tale. Stories and statements from real life, which mirrors the adventurous reality and creates fix points in the mental landscape.

The performers are carefully selected for this production: Snow White is played by a tall, good looking young woman who lost her mother when she as seven years old. Stepmother / mirror are played by two identical twin sisters, very beautiful and dangerous to look at. The hunter is doubled and performed by two well-built macho men. The seven dwarfs are played by eight real dwarfs, and the prince is a singing prince. All of them tell stories from their personal lives.
