 This is a literary style in theatrical performance which forces historical moments to be remade in the present through repetition of dialogues and actions, while being slightly revised with each re-occurrence.In "Venus", Parks replays historical events on stage as a response to the ways that black bodies have been historically subjected to abusive and unlawful power dynamics.Beyond the character's dialogues and actions, the entire "Venus" play is a performance of repetition and revision in the way it retells a story of Saartjie Baartman.
