Born in 1789, Saartje Baartman – better known as the Hottentot Venus – was brought from Africa to Europe, exhibited as a sexual object, and later used by scientists to support theories of racial inequality. ... have you hugged, kissed and respected your brown Venus today? is Robyn Orlin’s tribute to Baartman, whose tragic fate comes back to haunt the stage. In this world premiere, her story is voiced by five young actors.
