ABOUT THIS SHOW
Spanning across almost 4500 years, ideas and stories of distinguished individuals unfold on stage as they converse, collaborate, debate, even struggle with one another. Sumerian princess/priestess Enheduanna, the first author known to men, and the Goddess she worshiped, Inanna, ask each other for support; Fryderyk Chopin and George Sand discuss the meaning of the pianist’s compositions; Emma Lazarus and Esterre Meucci disagree on the meaning of home; and finally, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol paint on top of each other’s works.
