Join us in the Hudson Valley on May 16th and 17th for a work-in-progress showing of Salomania—a new work by our Co-Artistic Director Meg Araneo.
Salomania takes as its starting point the figure of Salome—a dancing girl who in exchange for a dance before a lustful king asks for (and gets) the head of a prophet. A simple story that has twisted and turned over centuries.
This production is a carnivalesque exploration of the precarity of this life and the “cruel optimism” we cling to in our journey to survive it.
Created by Meg Araneo
Featuring Tony Torn, David Skeist, Michael Mullen, and Meg Araneo
