Salomé

The film is about a show a flamenco company builds around Salomé. Salomé is a figure both mythical and biblical, and the story is one of love and vengeance. The work shows not only the performance but the preparation for it. The camera stays on the director, the dancers and the choreographers. The rehearsal room is the real setting of the film. The choreography was made by Aída Gómez and José Antonio. Gómez also dances the title role. The score was newly composed for the production. Pere Arquillué and Carmen Villena are also in the cast. The account moves back and forth between the stage and the rehearsal. Carlos Saura directed the eighty five minute Spanish film of 2002.
