Description

'Give me the head of Jokanaan.' At once horrible and sublime, Oscar Wilde’s one-act tragedy is a visionary take on the biblical myth of Salomé, Princess of Judea. Capturing the violence of the male and female gaze on the body, this symbolist poem depicts Salomé's forbidden lust for the Prophet Jokanaan and her transcendence and transgression into blasphemy. As she requests the unfathomable, Salomé's desire emerges as a cataclysmic force capable of bringing entire kingdoms, and the old patriarchs to the ground. A subversive portrait of female desire through the radical pursuit of art.
