Countdown to 2025 with us!

This bonus episode is a part of our annual "Countdown" event. Eliza Kuperschmid, our Director of Operations, interviewed Alessandra Viegas and produced this radio play as a way for our audience to interact with Viegas's work.

Enjoy!

Synopsis: A child sets out on a quest to protect the stars from the big, mean sun. The sun, the moon, and the stars play out their story as they always do, but this morning something changes – in the meadow, the child is caught by a strange man who challenges their view of those shiny astral bodies in the sky. Through storytelling, a child and a stranger play with how we make sense of the universe and how we relate to our place within the cosmos.

Enjoy the show!
