Salomee Speelt is a loose-and-regular collective, set up by actress
Noémi Schlosser. The idea was to combine different art disciplines,
materials and artists from different artistic backgrounds.
For each creation, specific collaboration is set up. Salomee’s first
production, Le Bel Indifférent (205), for instance, was performed
on location at the Antwerp Central Railway Station by opera singer
Mireille Capelle and word performer Vitalski.
Salomee Speelt makes no attempt to stick to a specific style or
subject matter. For the performances, new and/or existing text
material is used. Still, they frequently focus on the place of the
individual in society.
In Moskou – New York (2009), Schlosser uses a short story by Nobel
Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer about migration, breaking
away from one’s roots, the pursuit of happiness and the sacrifices
that have to be made to achieve this. The theatre maker works
with violin player Eliot Lawson, soprano Valerie Vervoort and actor
Han Kerckhoffs. For the writing process, she received guidance
from Josse De Pauw. Text and music are equally important
in the performance.
