Inanna is a twenty-first century rendering of the 5,000 year-old Sumerian epic of Inanna — the goddess of love, war, and fertility, whom we know as Venus. Diane Wolkstein's electrifying telling is paired with the extraordinary music of Geoffrey Gordon in this performance recorded live at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Deciphered from cuneiform tablets from ancient Iraq, the inspiring myth of Inanna recounts the emergence of the goddess into royal and lusty womanhood, her search for wisdom, her courtship, marriage, descent into the underworld, and rebirth. Told with humor and passion, this primal epic recounts the soul’s compelling discovery of compassion.
