Inanna
Diane Wolkstein & Geoffrey Gordon
83 Spring Street, New York City
Saturday, April 12th, 2008, at 7:00 p.m.
In Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq), the Goddess Inanna (Ishtar) was more loved and honored than any other deity, male or female. Known as the Queen of Heaven, she was worshipped as the Goddess of Love, War, and Fertility as well as Venus, the Morning and Evening Star. Her presence in cuneiform texts dates back to 1900 B.C.E. She continued to be worshipped in the Middle East at least to the time of the Bible where she is referred to as the Queen of Heaven.
"Through the riveting use of voice, gesture, and song, Diane Wolkstein, renowned storyteller and author, brings to life the oldest known recorded story, the 4,000–year–old epic of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love and fertility. Deciphered from cuneiform tablets from ancient Iraq, the inspiring myth of Inanna recounts the emergence of the goddess into womanhood, her search for wisdom, her courtship, marriage, descent into the underworld and rebirth. Enter another world this evening as consummate musician Geoffrey Gordon evokes the atmosphere of ancient times." (from the New York Open Center website)
