Herod

Summary

Biblical despot Herod Antipas prowls his marble terraces like a famished lion, eyes glinting at the Baptist’s severed head while step-daughter Salome’s veils ripple like liquid moonlight; in Theo Frenkel’s fever-dream tableau the palace becomes a crucible of voyeurism and taboo, every column a witness to the tyrant’s erotic self-annihilation.
