"
SF Ballet’s ‘Salome’ erotic, repellent and fascinating "
San Francisco Chronicle
"
the lure of erotic obsession with extraordinary intensity "
San Francisco Chronicle
"
The last few minutes of the ballet are beyond riveting – unnerving, in truth –as we watch Salome respond to her prize. It’s all sexy, sinister, scandalous fare. Too edgy and experimental for the San Francisco Ballet stage, or the kind of thing the ballet world needs "
Bachrack
"
Pita’s choreography, which is decadent and guttural, stripped of all extraneous movement and morally ambiguous "
Dancetabs
"
Pita’s Salome is pure postmodern dance-theater, and a five-star surprise on the Opera House stage. "
