"Goddess Inanna" by Enas Murad

January 11 - January 13, 2013

Written by Ezzat Goushegir

Directed by Azar Kazemi

My Name Is Inanna and Medea Was Born in Faluja are two powerful new one act plays by award winning Iranian American playwright EzzatGoushegir. Goushegir’s passionate and lyrical woman centered voice blends classical archetypes and contemporary realities with an honesty that is shockingly raw and brutal. Political tyranny, democratic yearnings, exile, betrayal, and the confines of gender seamlessly crescendo in these stunning tales of modern Middle Eastern women.

Featuring Silk Road Rising favorites Diana Simonzadeh (Scorched, Night Over Erzinga) and David Rhee (Yellow Face, Re-Spiced: A Silk Road Cabaret).

All performances held at Pierce Hall at The Historic Chicago Temple Building, 77 W Washington St., Chicago.
