POETRY & MUSIC Gilgamesh, an Ancient Voice

Discover the world’s first story and learn about a hero who searched for the secret of immortality at a mini-marathon reading of Gilgamesh. Copies of the book will be available for sale for you to follow along as people from all walks of life in Houston participate in relating a story as relevant to humanity today as when it emerged from the Marshes over 5,000 years ago.

Then, join us as we bid goodbye to the mudhif. On its last night in Houston, we will sing a lament and extinguish the lights that have illuminated it since we opened it to the public in September.
