Production details
Theatre Libre will approach the text from a feminist angle, exploring the result of the objectification of women. How does Salome evolve under the constant scrutiny of the male gaze? Are men as interested in the idea of female beauty as they are with the concept of ownership? What happens when Salome harnesses her sexuality for empowerment?
