Alexandros Stavropoulos

Who’s gonna tell her?

Drawing inspiration from the figure of Snow White, Who's gonna tell her? gives this timeless fairy tale a contemporary and abstract spin, bypassing a plain recount of the story and focusing on the symbols that have defined its mythology: the apple, the mirror, the kiss, and the number seven. Following Cinderella’s and On Wednesdays We Wear Pink, choreographer Alexandros Stavropoulos—awarded by the international platform Aerowaves (2021) and recipient of the SNF Artist Fellowship Program—turns once again to the contradictions in the representation of femininity within contemporary media imagery, deepening his creative excursion through this novel production.

The choreography pairs the energy and extroversion of pop culture with the timeless allure of archetypes, inviting the audience to discover new and unexpected interpretations. Moreover, the minimalist and avant-garde costume aesthetic and the chromatic contrast of the set design conjure a world that teeters between magic and abstraction.

Throwing humour in the mix, the play deconstructs stereotypes and reaches the audience with honesty, coming up with a delightful and palatable theatrical experience for all ages. Through the balanced coexistence of movement, music, and visual art, the play reacquaints us with a classical tale through its playful and joyous lens.
