Salome (1895) is a ballet by Loie Fuller (chor.).
Abstract
Loie Fuller ignored the popular Salome image of the femme fatale. Instead she presented her as "an innocent child who dances before Herod at the instigation of her mother. Salome does not ask for the head of John the Baptist and when it is delivered to her she falls to the ground in fright". For the 1907 version, Fuller used a completely different Salome image, not a biblical image, but a femme fatale, and focused more on the technical and electrical aspects of the dance spectacle.
