A stark, looping performance piece in which Sigalit Landau spins a hula hoop made of barbed wire at sunrise on a Tel‑Aviv beach. The work turns a familiar gesture into a charged act of desensitization, merging bodily risk with the political tensions of borders—both geographic and sub‑skin. The speed of the movement blurs pain into endurance, transforming a simple dance into a meditation on danger, history, and the invisible forces that shape a body’s relationship to its environment.

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.
