SONG OF SONGS OF THE KING OF SALOMON

Song of Songs of the King of Salomon

dramatized oratorio

 

 

proj. Leszek Żebrowski

One of the most beautiful eroticists in world literature, to whom an allegorical, even mystical, meaning is attributed. The scenario of the show is based on the biblical text (Old Testament). The authorship of "Songs of Songs", which grew out of the old folk tradition of wedding songs, is attributed to King Solomon. Each phrase of "Song of Songs" breathes joy in life and is a hymn to the glory of the purest, most sublime feeling, which is love in its human dimension - feminine and masculine, from birth, through its maturation, to triumphant fulfillment.
