| Summary: | In Wilde’s Salome, the Moon is omnipresent. Richard Strauss produced Wilde’s moonlit piece which held supremacy over the world throughout the last century. But where does this myth of the Moon come from ? We perceive the new modes in the contemporary productions of Salome : one is the new influence of Flaubert’s Hérodias, the origin of the modern Salome. The other is the disappearance of the traditional Salome. We must go back to the nineteenth century where this lunar dance of Salome was created, and especially to Flaubert’s Hérodias which inspired Wilde to exploit the lunar Hérodias and Salome. |
