SALOME:

In the continuity of its multidisciplinary research, Kaleidos Company presents Salome, an opera in one act composed by Gérard Massini and staged by Leili Yahr after the eponymous play by Oscar Wilde.

Exploiting a biblical myth twice millennial, Wilde writes a tragic poem tinged with humour, representing a Salome who fully assumes her sacrilegious desire, facing an authoritarian power. In a dreamlike and radical aesthetic, three actors-singers and three musicians confront this original opera to the sounds of a chiaroscuro lyricism flinging open imagination’s doors.
