Oscar Wilde’s Salome is remade into a darkly comedic fever dream of a rock opera written and composed by the Ilima Considine of The Sexbots, reset in an after hours club full of off-duty strippers, bartenders, and mountains of cocaine. This is a gay, feminist retelling of Salome - retold not as a story of a man in power led astray by a teenage temptress, but of a young girl caught in an impossible situation in a world where patriarchy forces women to objectify both themselves and others in order to survive. And yet, in spite of everything, young queer folk discover themselves and each other - irrepressible as dandelions growing out of a sidewalk.
