Using subtitles and voices simultaneously, this experimental work reveals a strange relationship between cinema, which was born in Paris at the end of the 19th century, and a  never-staged version of the play Salome.Reworking the original version of MUSIC AS FILM (2014), the international version adopts voices of native English speakers as well as English subtitles.
