Claus Oldenburg leads this autumn lecture series at Christians Kirke, held as a single evening talk in a series of six. Each session looks at a different female figure from the Book of Genesis and from Thomas Mann, exploring themes of matriarchy, jealousy, ambition and the power of the pivotal woman in the biblical story.
This evening, the focus is on Potiphar's wife, Mut-im-imet, and the move from a confined upper-class life to a dangerous, outward-reaching force. The series also has other instalments at the same venue, on 10 and 24 November, so you can attend more than one.
