Description

Sumer, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (modern Iraq) was a cornerstone of Western civilization, and the legends of the Goddess have been told in many variations in stories, songs, hymns and poetry. Inanna, Journey of Darkness and Light, written, directed and choreographed by Jezibell, is a Pagan musical theatre production, focusing on the integration of the polarities of light and darkness, symbolized in the mythological realms of Inanna and Ereshkigal, and, in terms of Jungian psychology, our higher selves and our shadows.

Inspired by Middle Eastern music and rhythm, these 13 songs and drum compositions are performed by Jezibell, the Inanna Company and Four Winds Earth Chorus, and they describe Inanna's journey of growth, development, and integration. In addition to interpreting the Goddess' story, this music is great for ritual, dance and meditation.

Jezibell (Inanna, Author) is a bellydancer and teacher based in New York City. She has been a featured performer at Lincoln Center Outdoors, the Knitting Factory, the New York Renaissance Faire, Caf Figaro, and the Centerfold Coffeehouse. She has danced with the Egyptian/American Folkloric Group and the Serena Dance Theatre and has taught at Serena Studios and Equinox Fitness Club. As an actress, she has performed in drama and cabaret at the West End Theatre, Caf Trocadero, and Rose's Turn, has been in several original productions with the Semolina Players and appeared in the horror film Biohazardous. She is a published poet, a singer/songwriter and member of Four Winds Earth Chorus. Jezibell is also a Wiccan High Priestess; with her partner Joseph Zuchowski she teaches an introductory Grove, leads the coven Kyklos ton Asterion, and facilitates open Pagan rituals.

Four Winds Earth Chorus is an all-volunteer not-for-profit interfaith musical cooperative created for the purpose of performance and promotion of the sacred music of Pagan, Native American and all Earth-Honoring peoples, dedicated to sacred sound and rhythm as a common ground between the many spiritual pathways on Mother Earth. Choral Director Kurt Griffith/Talking Stone is an accomplished ceremonial Singer and drummer as well as a Water Pourer and Pipe Carrier in a Lakota Medicine Tradition.

The CD of Inanna, Journey of Darkness and Light, is a not-for-profit production. Proceeds from this recording will be donated to the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), a political/social organization of Afghan women struggling for peace, freedom, democracy and women's rights in fundamentalism-blighted Afghanistan.
