Eleusyve Productions is proud to announce the release of Aleister Crowleys The Rite of Venus on DVD.
During the summer of 2007 The Rite of Venus was performed as an original musical for hundreds of supportive fans in Portland and Seattle and received critical acclaim. Since then a limited edition DVD of the production has premiered around the U.S. for a few exclusive engagements. At long last, The Rite of Venus DVD is available to the public.
Now you can own the production of The Rite of Venus that Gavin Borchert of The Seattle Weekly heralded, saying: “I've seen several local productions of these Rites over the years, and this one is by far the most elaborate and most successful... Eleusyve's Venus succeeds not only because of this devotion but because of the brains behind it.”
The story of The Rite of Venus is a tale of mystery, love and sorrow.
After the Sun God is slain at the climax of The Rite of Sol, and as twilight falls, the Goddess of Love assumed the throne in the east, and the shrine is transformed into Her Holy Temple. Here Venus rules in Luxury, surrounded by her Acolytes and those probationers who desire to learn her mystery and partake of her tender gifts.
Sharing in Her victory are those forces over whom she holds sway, Venus gazes upon her Temple with pride and acceptance, eager to receive the tributes she knows herself to deserve. Libra, Taurus, Saturn, Pisces, and Luna all array themselves about her dais, and bask in the glory of her love.
But can Libra find an equal answer to his ardor when Venus shares her affections with all her children, and his eyes see the goddess alone? Will Taurus find a way to garner her favor into the earthly splendor that he so desires? Why has Saturn, the very God of death and time, aligned himself with the forces of unfaltering Love and Motherhood? Can innocent Pisces learn the ways of the Temple, and keep her feet upon the path to understanding without some sacrifice of that innocence? How shall Luna, the changing Goddess of the moon, effect her transformations upon these realms of love and luxury?
…And amid all these contending forces, can Love survive?
This Eleusyve Productions DVD presentation of Aleister Crowleys The Rite of Venus includes never before seen out takes and interviews, as well as solo dance performances by members of the cast.
