Salomé is trope, biblical, modern and contemporary, a mirror of fallen humanity in a world of fallen institutions.
It is the climax of the Spirit of their/our Time in the obsession with sight, in the hypertrophy of the ego, in metaphysical boredom, in missed glances at what is sacred and ineffable.
It is the door that opens to barbarism, to the post-hangover silence of everything that follows the overdose, to having believed in some sort of eternal present.
It is an ecstatic and hysterical body, which dissolves into a hieratic indolence, macerated in the wait for "une chose inconnue".
It is a soul sitting within itself, drooling with dark gestures, exhausted by solitary ideas and insidious appeals to sacrilege.
Salomé is an Elegy to absence, until there is no more light, until all that remains is loss.
