Remember Salome with Mattila in Paris? 2003?
It was not really surprising to see her undressed in NY, one year later.
Just ridiculous! And typical for wrongly interpreted values.... never midn the violence and the killing, Karita's bare back, now that is a problem! pffttt!! As if there would eb tonnes of children under 10 years old watching it anyway...
It might be that Karita herself has requested this. It has been argued that there is a world of difference between 'live' and 'captured in close up to be replayed and repeated on YouTube'
But Gelb didn't say either of those. A very sick society that finds murder and necrophilia preferable to naked front-bottoms.
Gert - that is a good point, if true. Wouldn´t blame Karita Mattila for not wanting her naked body posted all over the internet, and accompanying her for the rest of her career.
In truth, I don´t think it has much impact on the Salome production, whether she appears naked or not.
