THE PASSION OF BRANKO BREZOVEC
Saloma, directed by Branko Brezovec; produktion: KotorArt (Montenegro) / EUROKAZ / MSU Zagreb / ZKM / Dom Kulture KKV (Dance studio) Sisak

Oscar Wilde subjected Salome of the Biblical chronotope to ideology. Miroslav Krleža, acting from similar ideological position, saves Salome from Wilde’s interpretation of social justice and turns such generic ideals to cynicism. Not only with its intertextuality but also with the form of his early one-act play, Krleža creates a basis for a modern reading. Branko Brezovec recognizes the post-dramatic potential of the text and gives Salome’s discourse even more supremacy than Krleža and places other characters that threaten to start a conflict into the second plane.
