I did my last volunteering activity for 2021 with Kompis Sverige. We went to see a dance performance entitled Snövit which means Snow White. It is not the classic Snow White story that most of us know. The dwarfs are there but they are not dwarfs and there are 6 only. The evil stepmother is in the story. But the person looks like a man so it could be stepfather.
So, the story is about Snow White who reaches puberty (she had red stains) and her stepfather gifted her a mobile phone and got her hooked on to social media and obsessed with getting as many 'likes' in her posts. One fine day, Snow White's post reached more 'likes' than her stepfather and he ordered her to be killed. So, a huntsman was there and he killed a rabbit (a shadow of a rabbit. You cannot be killing a live animal on stage). Finally, Snow White was liberated from her stepfather. I did not understand how. I cannot quite decipher that from the performance.
But overall, I enjoyed the dance show! Oh, we needed to show a vaccination certificate to enter into the venue.
