Salome

Princess Salome of Judea is infatuated with Jochanaan, the prophet of new faith. When King Herod invites Salome to perform a dance for him, she demands a ruthless price in return – the princess wants the prophet’s head… The veiled events tell a story of obsessive love, more powerful than rational thought. Although the action is set in ancient Judea, in his latest production, Director Alvis Hermanis transports us to future Israel, where ideologies and religions have tangled in a tight knot, more so than anywhere else in the world.
