DivineDances will present selected readings of Inara and the Tree of Souls: An Anthology of Tales, an original work by renowned choreographer/performer/scholar, Kristina Koutsoudas. Funded in part by a grant through the city of Houston and the Houston Arts Alliance, this project is based on the tales of the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of Inanna and expands upon them.
In Kristina’s version, the traditional narrative of "The Hulpullu Tree," the center of the tales, is reframed to emphasize the need for the protection and preservation of nature, of the wilderness within and around us, rather than the use of violence against it and the women who represent it.
The December 9 and 12 events are in-person, while the December 17 event is virtual.
