Salomé’s Dance of the Seven Veils has sent generations reeling. Throughout the
ages, Oscar Wilde’s femme fatale who also inspired Richard Strauss for his shocking
opera, caused a lot of stir. In Dance of the Seven Veils, director Aïda Gabriëls invites
musicians Colin H. Van Eeckhout (CHVE, Amenra), Pieter-Jan Van Assche
(Innerwoud) and soprano Astrid Stockman to fiddle with the deeply human figure of
Salomé. Within a theatrical total work of art, dancer German Jauregui immerses into
their ecstatic soundscape, surrendering to the primal forces and fears of the female
icon sculptor Rui Barros manipulates and gets manipulated by.
