(Two sisters, Solange and Claire, work as live-in maids in...)
Two sisters, Solange and Claire, work as live-in maids in the house of Madame. Envious of her beauty and wealth, they reenact Madame, putt on her dresses and jewellery, imitating her manner of speaking and movement. However, eventually they get carried away with their game: they cast anonymous aspersions on Monsieur, Madame’s lover, denouncing him to the police. When they find out that Monsieur has been released, they decide to kill Madame, both to escape punishment and because they see her as the incarnation of all their misfortunes and low social status.

(Roman Viktyuk decided to create a joint piece, intertwini...)
Roman Viktyuk decided to create a joint piece, intertwining elements of Oscar Wilde’s biography into this famous play. The story of Salome is interjected by tribunal scenes in which Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde is under trial for indecency and sodomy. Roman Viktyuk turned Wilde’s Salome into a fascinating parable about artist’s path in the world, where love exists only in the vicinity of death.
