Aphrodite was married to Haeptus the God of Handicraft, but she had an affair with Aries the God of War. Aphrodite also had a major role in the event of the Trojan War. The story began with the wedding party of Peleus and Thetis the Mermaid. Aphrodite put an apple that can only be owned by the most beautiful goddess in Thetis’ bouquet, which became a competition between the goddesses.  Paris the Human was then chosen to become the juror, and Aphrodite promised Paris that he will be able to marry the woman he loved if the apple gets in the hands of Aphrodite.  And so the apple fell to Aphrodite, which meant that Paris can marry the woman he loved, who is Helen of Troy. Helen’s husband, Spartan, became jealous of Paris. With his brother he formed the Greek army to attack Troy, which led to the Trojan war.  But one day Aphrodite received her recompense. While she was playing with the Arrows of Love with her son Cupid, the arrow struck Adonis the Human and made him fall in love with her. Unfortunately their love did not last, as Adonis finally died in the hand of a wild forest monster when Aphrodite left him briefly to visit heaven. Aphrodite who loves him much realizes that her actions are wrong, that what she receives is a form of karma. She promised herself to be a kind goddess, and then crying  wiped away Adonis’ blood and her teardrops became the Anemone flower, one that quickly blooms and dies, exactly like the love tale of Aphrodite and Adonis.

T027 and T027W Pilihan dan Mesin Pemburu (Choice and The Hunter’s Machine),

Tikka Sears and Teater Payung Hitam Experimental theatre with verbal and non verbal expression.

This performance is a multi-media theater collaboration among director of Teater Payung Hitam Rachman Sabur, theater artist and director Tikka Sears, writer and video artist Manuel Castro, and Indonesian actors and designers.  The cast includes artists from Indonesia and America. The script was written in English by Manuel Castro with Tikka Sears; later the script was translated, adapted and added to by Artistic Director of Payung Hitam, Rachman Sabur.  The production is based on classical and contemporary mythologies by incorporating elements from local Mahabharata stories and American pop culture. We are drawing our research from Indonesian oral traditions, contemporary Indonesian authors, music, topeng dance, Javanese and Sundanese mythological tales, and popular global media culture.  We are incorporating on-stage video projection to play a significant part in the production.  The piece explores the places where theater, film and documentary can meet.  Working with the notion of “suture” from film theory, we focus on the film shots that are used to knit images and mise-en-scene together.  These film shots encode ideologies in subtle ways.  By incorporating video interviews from varying areas of the population in Indonesia and America, we analyze and highlight these usually hidden narratives.  To do this, these documentary video clips will serve as characters in the play that engage in dialogue with onstage characters thus blurring the distinction between myth, reality, and media.  Here we will use non-realistic video sequences that are being produced with and by the actors.  We hope to create a dialogue between dichotomies of east and west, old and new, rich and poor.  The production focuses on the perceptions that Indonesian and American peoples have of each other’s cultures.  The play's themes highlight the repetitious actions of humankind, the way people are blinded by societal myths, and questions whether it is within human nature to change these behaviors and cycles.  Innovative video interaction and interviews with Indonesians and Americans: The play incorporates video sequences.  These video sequences include video interviews with a variety of people in both Indonesia and America
