Fairy Tales is a dance performance with a strong visual presence performed by eight female dancers to the accompaniment of live singing and music.

With the themes of femininity and the values that femininity brings to our world, we revisit the places of our childhood in Fairy Tales. We uncover and explore the processes through which we become ourselves. We put on different roles, as if each one were just another play. Roles we all know from fairy tales and real life. We create new fantasies for ourselves in which we reshape our identities and the ways in which we imagine our happy endings.
