In the organizer's words:

A woman - torn between institutions, violence and those who stand up for them.

Oscar Wilde'sSalome is reduced to the central conflict of power: Herod the Tetrach, Jochanaan the prophet and Salome the queen's daughter. A triangle of violence, power and abuse of power.

Herod loses himself in his lust for power and, with his fear of God, is under the constant influence of the prophet. The prophet does not fear the king, but he despises Salome and what she is. A woman. One denies her right to exist and the other sees her only as an object of his desire. And Salome? Salome is fighting for her life. Whether she can win this fight or whether everyone loses in the end remains to be seen. Violence is answered with violence. But perhaps something has to die to make room for something new. Even she herself.
