Summary

That Deep Ocean… by Ana Cândida Carneiro Translated from the Italian by Stephen PidcockIn Brazilian-Italian author Ana Cândida Carneiro’s That Deep Ocean…, a two-character audio play written in Italian and translated into English by Stephen Pidcock, a single day in a woman’s life becomes an epic journey of self-discovery. The action shifts between the character’s everyday world, where she's trapped in a dreary job, and an alternative realm, part dreamscape, part subconscious. In that world, she converses—by turns awestruck, challenging, and playful—with an underwater sea creature who presents as a powerful, seductive, masculine presence. She perceives him as a giant squid, but he might also be an aspect of herself. In language that alternates between the poetic and the matter-of-fact, That Deep Ocean... explores questions of identity, love, and death.The Play for Voices production of That Deep Ocean... was directed and co-produced by Sarah Montague and performed by Amanda Quaid and Peter Francis James. Brazilian composer Fernando Arruda provided original music for Matt Fidler’s sound design.Play for Voices audio plays are recorded at Harvestworks by audio engineer Kevin Ramsay.Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.About the Author and TranslatorAna Cândida Carneiro (author) is an award-winning Brazilian-Italian playwright, currently based in the US.

    It's getting, scary? There’s a primal division happening in our nation. What’s the foundational chasm? What's the cause of the apparent discontent? Why are "conservatives" seemingly more acutely purpose-driven to a singular value-system in a way that "liberals" appear to not be? What is the "conservative" value-system? Who are their modern-day role models? What does it mean to be Republican? To be Democrat? What is America's unifying value system? Is there one? Is it unifying -- was it ever meant to be, truly? Since our last recording there have been heinous acts of mass gun violence perpetrated against Black elders in Buffalo, New York, elementary school children in Uvalde, Texas, as well as instances of indiscriminate neighborhood gun violence across the country. It's devastating. In this episode we attempt to understand some of the "how," "why," and "what now." Stay strong jawns. Recorded Saturday, May 21, 2022.
