Tanz der Salome

Synopsis

In the image of Salomé, the excluded other – nature, sexuality, the feminine – returns as an attraction and a threat. In a mixture of striptease and opera, Adorée Villany in front of the camera crosses the boundaries of both genres. Recitative of Salome by Oscar Wilde in the stage version.
