The Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, Venus also came to represent enticement, seduction, the persuasiveness of female charm, victory, and prostitution. In Roman mythology, Venus was born from the sea foam after Uranus’ blood fell into the water when he was castrated by his son, Saturn. As the goddess of love and sex her mythology is fi lled with lovers, both divine and mortal, though her marriage to Vulcan, the god of fi re, is noted as barren and loveless. The symbol of Venus, and of her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite, consists of a circle above a small cross. It is used today to represent the female sex, the planet Venus, and the alchemical element of copper. A cast of the VENUS DE’ MEDICI OR MEDICI VENUS, one of the most-copied sculptures of all time. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was an Austrian writer, from whose name comes the contemporary term “masochism,” which was coined by an Austrian psychiatrist in 1886 in reference to Sacher-Masoch’s inclusion of what was then considered a “sexual anomaly” in his writings. Years later in 1906, details of Sacher-Masoch’s private life were published in the memoirs of his fi rst wife, Aurora von Rümelin, under the pseudonym Wanda v. Dunajew – the name of the main character in Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 novel, Venus in Furs. In her memoir, Rümelin recounts her former husband’s desire that she act out the sadomasochistic events of his novel, against her own desires. The two eventually divorced. It is suggested that Leopold von Sacher-Masoch based his main character, Wanda, on his real-life mistress Fanny Pistor, with whom he signed a contract to become her slave for a period of six months, during which time she would wear furs as often as LEOPOLD VON SACHER-MASOCH, possible – particularly when she was feeling cruel. 1860s. The characters of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s original novel, Venus in Furs, draw the concept of the goddess Venus draped in fur from the famous Titian painting Venus with a Mirror. The original painting, created around 1555, is said to be both a celebration of the female form and a simultaneous critique of vanity. The pose adopted by the goddess, with one hand to her breast and the other on her lap, is thought to be based on the famous Hellenistic statue of Venus de’ Medici in Florence. Titian made a number of paintings depicting Venus, but Venus with a Mirror is thought to be the only one entirely in his own hand, done without the contribution of any assistants, and which hung in Titian’s home until his death in 1576. The red cloak under Venus’ arm has been revealed through X-ray technology to be the cloak of one of two fi gures in an underlying portrait, which Titian abandoned and painted over. Venus with a Mirror is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. TITIAN’S VENUS WITH A MIRROR, c. 1555. Oil on canvas.

This relationship has also informed superhero comics themselves – going all the way back to Superman’s debut in Action Comics 1 (June 1938). As DC President Paul Levitz says of the development of the superhero: ‘There was an enormous desire to see social justice, a rectifying of corruption. Superman was a fulfillment of a pent-up passion for the heroic solution’ (quoted in Poniewozik 2002: 57).

  • Ripe Frenzy Program (Download PDF)
    WELCOME Greenway Arts Alliance has been honored to serve thousands of students, artists and community members for the last twenty years. Did you know that you are on the campus of Fairfax High School in a building designed and constructed by Fairfax students as a “Social Hall” in the 1940’s? Based on articles in the school newspaper, the students were committed to building a home in which to “socialize.” Greenway continues this commit- ment through our mission to unite communities through our productions at the Greenway Court Theatre, which give our patrons the opportunity to share in the communal experience of live theatre. Jennifer Barclay's Ripe Frenzy, produced through the National New Play Network's Rolling World Premiere program, is the culminating production of Greenway's 20th Anniversary season. In it we showcase our recommitment to producing important new works that explore the pressing social issues of our time. As we write this letter in preparation for Opening Night, we do so with the knowledge that students, teachers and parents in Santa Fe, Texas, are mourning their friends and children lost in yet another school shooting. Since Columbine, we have watched in horror as 85 similar shootings have occurred, killing 223 people. As a theatre in residence on a high school campus, we say ENOUGH, and hope that this produc- tion will inspire our audiences to interrogate society's role in the proliferation of these events, and look for ways to work toward ending them. We regard Greenway Court Theatre as our home and are grateful that you are here.
