Flemming Flindt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flemming Flindt is a Danish choreographer.

Flindt's ballet Salome premiered on November 10, 1978, at Copenhagen's Cirkusbygningen [the circus building]. It featured music composed by Peter Maxwell Davies, performed by the Danish Radio Concert Orchestra and conducted by Janos Fürst. The principal dancers were Vivi Flindt (Salome), Jonny Ellisason (John the Baptist), Flemming Flindt (Herod) and Lizzie Rhode (Herodias). Vivi Flindt, the wife of Flemming Flindt, danced her final scene completely nude, which caused less of a sensation than the couple's previous nude ballet Dødens triumf (the triumph of death), which had premiered at the Royal Danish Theatre in 1972. Salome was filmed on tape and shown on national television.
