Description
Oscar Wilde's play Salome is a twist on the execution of John the Baptist, fuelled by motives of lust and slaughter. Wilde's interpretation is deeply rooted in the Biblical story of Salome's dance to please Herod and her mother's plea for John the Baptist's head. Wilde's twist on the biblical story focuses on the personality of Salome and the hypersexual implications.

Description
Salomé fue la hija del Rey Herodes que pidió por despecho la cabeza de San Juan Bautista. Carlos Saura recrea esta historia bíblica volviendo al estilo de sus primeras películas, que son en realidad cuadros musicales. Aída Gómez, directora del Ballet Nacional de España entre 1998 y 2001, compone la coreografía y encarna a la propia Salomé. Su baile es el encargado de narrar la historia de esta joven ambiciosa.
