Golden Rice and Apples Sliced: Staging GMO Controversy in "Snow White and the Apple's Revenge"
Diamond, Catherine
Research in Drama Education, v24 n4 p522-528 2019
In 2019, Artist Inc. and the Kinnari Ecological Theatre Project presented "Snow White and the Apple's Revenge" at the Likhandula Festival in Los Baños, the Philippines. Adapting the original Grimm version of the fairytale to challenge the validity of GM crops, it was presented in the town where the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is located. In 2019, both IRRI's controversial 'golden rice', a new GM rice containing beta carotene to prevent night blindness, and a new GM apple that does not brown when cut were put on the market, providing the context for the performance.
