A savagely beautiful new glam rock re-imagining of the infamous Biblical tale, starring San Francisco’s most erotically-charged and campily hilarious rock chanteuse, trixxie carr. The breathtaking vocals and outrageous ingenuity that has made carr a local rock sensation and award-winning faux queen find a theatrical story as epic as her uproarious onstage antics in this commission by NCTC, developed in a year-long residency as part of its Emerging Artist Program. The brutal power of ancient myth collides with twenty-first century decadence in this exhilarating multidisciplinary new musical play based on Oscar Wilde’s most controversial work and Richard Strauss’ searing landmark opera. Salome, Dance for Me features an all-original score penned by carr herself, with celebrated emerging classical conductor Robert Mollicone, and is directed by carr’s frequent collaborator, NCTC Artistic Associate Ben Randle.
