The film is based on the play "The Gospel According to Oxyrhincus" by Danish avant-garde theatre group Odin Teatret, performed from 1985 to 1987. "The Gospel According to Oxyrhincus" is the portrayal of the revolts buried alive, matching the story of Antigone and her brother Polynices, with the character of Zusha Mal'ak - a Jew who is searching for the Messiah and comes upon a society which has already found its Messiah - and the utopian revolutions which ended in blood. The performance is in Coptic and Old Greek, two dead languages that nobody understands any longer.

Salomé

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.
