SYNOPSIS

Who Will Kill Messalina? is a black comedy that, with acid and provocative humor, revisits Oscar Wilde's mythem of Salome and takes it to a completely new universe: a contemporary limbo turned into a club for "small-time" sinners who don't fit in purgatory, run by Princess Salome herself.

In 2016, I won the Teatre Principal de Palma competition to create a version of Salome.  That first dramatic production was transformed in 2025 into this black comedy that combines fragments of Oscar Wilde and original scenes of my own. I gave them new allies, enemies, and one last attempt to reach heaven after two thousand years of punishment. I wanted to bring together two women whom human history has condemned as femmes fatales: Salome and Mesalina, to try to get them to heaven.

In this fiction, both women travel a path as absurd as it is urgent, while the audicence is witness and accomplice to their destiny.
