Atmosphere of Decay is a rhythmic, choreographed dance piece based on The Descent of Inanna, a Sumerian myth roughly 4,000 years old. Sophia Mage created the concept and choreography, and the work follows the goddess Inanna's climb toward ultimate power, the decay of her ego, and her eventual surrender, which holds the possibility of new life.
Three performers, Brittanie Brown, Charlotte Petersen and Escarleth Romo Pozo, move between subtle dominance and open vulnerability in a choreography of intimacy, transformation and rejection. The production is described as restless and earthy, an ode to chaos in a time of collapse.
