"Old Fox's Justice" A Play At The New York Theater Festival | A Conversation with Playwrights Tahiana Larissa and Marco Augusto Ferreira | Audio Signals Podcast With Marco Ciappelli

“A DEA agent is found dead in mysterious circumstances in Paraguay. To protect his wife, a retiring prosecutor tries to label it as an overdose. The US sends an FBI agent to uncover the facts, confronting Paraguay’s corrupt justice system against America’s pursuit of truth.”

Hello and welcome back to the Audio Signals Podcast, where we muse on stories and storytellers. I'm Marco Ciappelli, your host, and I'm thrilled to have you here with us today. If you're new to the show, we dive deep into stories, storytelling, and the storytellers who create and share these narratives using a multitude of different media. In this show, I like to analyze not just the narrative but also the societal and sometimes technological layers that often go unnoticed, along with all that goes on behind the scenes of a story—whatever the format might be.

Alright, let's get to it. Today is special—no, it’s extraordinary. Why? Because we're taking a trip through the corridors of justice with a Paraguayan twist. We're going to explore "Old Fox's Justice," a legal drama set to hit the Off-Broadway New York theater scene, but with its soul deeply entrenched in the rich soil of Paraguay. Trust me, you're going to want to hear all about this. It's not just another courtroom drama; it's an exploration of justice, culture, and humanity at an intersection that most people wouldn't even consider.

With me today are Tahiana Larissa and Marco Augusto Ferreira. These two writers, both natives of Paraguay, have gone above and beyond to craft a tale that places two justice systems in a head-on collision and forces us to examine our own perspectives. If you're intrigued by the interplay of societal structures and individual narratives, you cannot afford to miss this conversation.

What's fascinating here is the universality of the story. Justice, as a concept, transcends borders. Yet, it's deeply influenced by the societies and cultures from which it originates. So when you throw the U.S. and Paraguayan systems into a pot and stir, what exactly bubbles to the surface? That's what we're here to explore. We'll also delve into the adventure of bringing a play to life on stage, discussing everything it takes to produce it—from actors to directors, costumes, and all the details and immense amount of work that goes behind it.

So sit tight, grab your beverage of choice, or just your favorite chair, and gear up for a session that promises to be enlightening, entertaining, and certainly inspiring.
