Salomé veut la tête de Iokanaan (Saint-Jean-Baptiste). Cette Salomé est à la fois monstrueuse et follement attirante, car son regard transfigure totalement ce qu'elle voit et le bascule dans un autre monde, son monde à elle, elle voit « au travers », et si finalement elle ordonne le meurtre de Iokanaan, c'est qu'en refusant ses avances ce dernier a rompu le charme qui le rendait désirable par Salomé, le rejetant dans son monde réel où il n'est rien pour elle.  Salomé pourrait être parnassienne, symboliste, surréaliste… elle a de tout cela en elle, c'est une pièce qui résonne étrangement et magnifiquement.

L'aristocrate Camille des Grieux rencontre René Teleny. Pianiste de talent, lors d'un concert mondain. Le coup de foudre est immédiat, et la vie des deux hommes s'en trouve bouleversée. Car une liaison homosexuelle n'a pas lieu d'être dans l'Angleterre victorienne... Oscar Wilde est un des écrivains majeurs de la littérature contemporaine. Auteur de pièces de théâtre, nouvelliste, romancier, journaliste, poète, il a risqué la mort par une vie ouvertement bisexuelle, à la fois père de famille aimant et homosexuel déclaré, ce qui lui vaudra la prison et l'exil. Mort à Paris (à L'Hôtel, aujourd'hui établissement parisien renommé) en 1900, enterré au Père Lachaise, il voit sa tombe continuer à être fleurie en toutes saisons, et son oeuvre entrer à La Pléiade en 1996.

La Critique créatrice

Il giovane Lord Arthur Savile ha proprio tutto per essere felice: una vita agiata, la prospettiva di un bel matrimonio... fino al giorno in cui un chiromante non gli predice che commetterà un omicidio. Da quel momento in poi, Lord Arthur, per evitare di coinvolgere la sua futura moglie nell'inesorabile delitto, decide di rinviare il matrimonio e di battere il destino sul tempo, commettendo il crimine prima del momento profetizzato. Ma chi sceglierà quale vittima del fato? E come porterà a termine il suo piano?Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1887, "Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile" è un gioiello dello humour nero, intriso dell'elegante cinismo e dell'arguzia che caratterizzano la prosa di Wilde. Con il suo stile impeccabile, costellato di gustose allusioni shakespeariane, Wilde seduce e intriga il lettore, travolgendolo in un'irresistibile vicenda di profezie e veleni, fino all'imprevedibile colpo di scena finale.
