New World del Vecchio (Audio)

Jan 01, 1992
Created by Lou Mallozzi
A work about the blurry line between exploration and exploitation, and about the interaction of history, memory, and fiction. Through interwoven narratives—the first voyage of Columbus to the Caribbean, Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical dissection of a 100-year-old man, and stories about immigrating Italian peasant workers—this piece investigates the various motives and dreams behind the quests for "new worlds." Commissioned by New American Radio.
