The enigmatic persona of Salome with her notorious dance of the seven veils has been inhabiting our imagination for ages. She is the talk of the town, yet never speaks for herself. In this radical re-interpretation Salomé sheds the oppressive gaze of desire. What happens when the so-called embodiment of sensuality tears apart the seven veils veiling and unveiling, in order to show her true nature?
Together with musicians Colin H. Van Eeckhout (Amenra, CHVE) and Pieter-Jan Van Assche (Innerwoud), soprano Astrid Stockman creates a contemporary composition where electronica mingles with classical music.
