A mythological audio drama by Peter Armetta

Excerpts below!

You Horrid Children! (3:12) The homeless, nameless children tell the Old Fisher Woman that they’re persecuting her so the stricken fishing village won’t turn on them.

“Streaming Upward”  (2:50) The Old Fisher Woman completes her undersea appointment with her ancestors and finds herself streaming upward, in a sparkling, reborn sea.

In “The Old Woman and the Sea” an old fisher woman, who is an outcast in a village where the fish have stopped running, undertakes a mythic journey which renews her own soul and the life of her village. In the care of a magical animal guide, she journeys to the bottom of the sea to make a choice between life and death.

With no prior knowledge, this original tale parallels both a traditional Greek folk tale, The Fisherman’s Widow, and a modern dream (see Dream Gallery –Cormorant at the Bottom of the Sea). We truly enter the universal through myth and dream!
