One of the pieces on "thirst" commissioned by the Third Coast Festival this fall. It's a compelling, moving remembrance by a Russian man about his trip as a boy to the Siberian Gulag. For him thirst was physical torture as well as an emotional and existential nightmare.
The piece is thoughtful and engaging. I'd suggest running all of the Thirst pieces together. Together, they tell a kind of radio story.
