Lumina

"Are dancers truly free, or are they prisoners dancing with their own shadows?"

Behind the grace on stage lies intense training, struggles with body image, and battles with self-worth: Is ballet a liberating art form, or an endless competition? "Lumina" sheds light on the price of perfectionism in the world of ballet and the physical and mental pressures that come with it. The pursuit of flawlessness becomes a grueling challenge for both body and soul, as the dancer enters a relentless cycle of self-critique, constantly searching for imperfections in the mirror.

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.
