salome

Enter a maze where seduction is always present, always ambiguous and delicately unexpected.
Enter alone, and only you will catch a glimpse of threats and reality, of interpretation and exploitation, of voyeurism and delight. Come on a journey through light, sound and movement and you will face yourself in the search for Salomé.

 seven sisters group´s Salomé is not a narrative account of the original biblical story. It is a free interpretation of the themes and ideas displayed in the story and its various reappraisals, especially those of the Fin de Siecle. Salomé embodies persistant ideas about women, stereotypes and conceptions of female sexuality, power, manipulation and violence. She is an icon of the Femme Fatale, a scapegoat for other peoples´ interests or projection of their desires.

Salomé was the sell-out success of the 1999 Spring Loaded season, performed at St Pancras Chambers with a cast of delectable and deranged Salomés inhabiting a decrepit and lonely labyrinth of rooms, mirrors, corridors, projections and passageways.
