Fatale: Would you dance for a head?
Tale of Tales has announced their next project…“Fatale”, a vignette based on the tale of Salomé, specifically Oscar Wilde’s interpretative play. Salomé, the stepdaughter of King Herod, demanded the head of John the Baptist as recompense for dancing for her stepfather. Because, you know, every woman needs to get a head every once in a while.
Oh, come on, you knew that joke was coming!
Inspired also by 19th century paintings, “Fatale” (working title) will be similar to their 2008 piece The Graveyard: an explorable painting or an interactive vignette more than a
goal-oriented quest. “Fatale” is scheduled to be released on October 5th 2009, the 78th anniversary of the first public performance of Salomé in English. The play had been banned from the British stage for almost 50 years because of its depiction of biblical figures.
Tale of Tales is also bringing back previous collaborators for the project, including Laura Raines Smith for animation, Gerry De Mol for music, and Jarboe and Kris
Force for soundscape and voice acting. But the individual doing character design and modeling is being kept secret for now. They only say that this person is an “extremely talented and very well known game artist”.
