SALOME
Performance 2021‘How red those petals are! They are like blood stains on the cloth. That does not matter. It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors. It were better to say that stains of blood are as lovely as rose petals.’ (Oscar Wilde, 1891 Salom)
Salome is an accompanying 25 minute durational performance to Silent Gallop which reinterprets the story of Salome through looped actions. Featuring the accumulating destruction of plaster cast heads of John the Baptist by three performers, with a live original musical accompaniment by Haian Arshid.
