Salome

The scene starts off with Salome, King Herod’s stepdaughter, hiding from the piercing eyes of the King. ... Salome’s curiosity gets the best of her when she hears the cries of Jokanaan. Quite intrigued by the sound of Jokanaan’s voice and defiantly ignoring the King’s order to keep Jokanaan in the Cistern, Salome demands the Tetrarch to retrieve Jokanaan for her viewing. Noticing the Tetrarch’s reluctance to bypass the King’s orders, Salome uses her sexuality to convince the Tetrarch to retrieve the prophet. The Tetrarch after giving way to his desire and lust for Salome disregards the King’s order and brings forth Jokanaan.
