READING SALOMÉ (Johannes Müller/Philine Rinnert)
Opera - as the cradle of horrifying gender images. In their new musical theater project, Johannes Müller and Philine Rinnert take Richard Strauss’ opera Salomé head on with techniques straight out of the drag scene – a genre that understands gender as a melodramatic roll. Lip syncs, elaborate costumes and malicious gossip fuse together into a discourse about the exotic opera and the question of whether it could be a release to be a monster like Strauss’ Salome.
Es geht stark um Sänger-Performance in der Oper, weniger um Texterfahrung.
