Salome
Sat 3 Mar @ 8pm
€16/14
An evening that brings together the magic of the silver screen and the thrill of live performance. This production brings together a screening of the 1923 silent film Salomé with a live performance of a new exhilarating and pulsating score specially written for the film by Charlie Barber. The music is performed by four percussionists, playing from two alloy towers on either side of the screen. Inspired by early fragments of music from Judea and Syria, this version of Salomé is dominated by an assortment of drums, tambourines, castanets, cymbals and Tibetan singing bowls.
Salomé, adapted from the controversial Oscar Wilde play, is a visual feast. With Russian actress Alla Nazimova in the title role, the stunning, art nouveau costumes and sets were designed by Natacha Rambova, and were inspired by the lavish illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley that accompanied the first edition of Wilde’s text. Along with Nazimova, they are, in many ways the stars of the film.
