You’re invited. A palace party. Protests outside. John the Baptist imprisoned below.

Set on the evening of King Herod’s birthday party, Salomé is an absurd reclamation of a biblical epic. An adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s infamous play, Salomé refuses empire’s script and flips age-old ideas of power on their head, inviting us to question who gets to speak, to desire, to anoint, to believe. This is a story where queer love is as ancient and transcendent as straight love, as powerful and mysterious, as awesome and terrifying, as horrific and beautiful. And in this telling, the old scripture doesn’t get the last word—the party does.
