Salomé: A Tragedy in One Act

In a sun‑baked palace on the edge of Judea, the ruler Herod Antipas presides over a court riddled with intrigue and looming danger. His volatile wife Herodias has a daughter, Salome, whose mesmerizing beauty and silent ambitions set the stage for a clash of desire and destiny. When the prophet John the Baptist is imprisoned for denouncing the royal marriage, a tense standoff rises between the holy and the corrupt, while Salome’s intoxicating dance promises a reward none can foresee.

The play unfolds in lyric, fever‑dream language that drips with sensuality and foreboding, inviting listeners to feel the heat of torches and the whisper of silk. With each line, the characters reveal their cravings—power, revenge, and an unspoken yearning for something beyond the gilded walls. The result is a compact, haunting tableau that lingers long after the final breath, perfect for an immersive listening experience.
