the facts
Written, produced, and directed by lenore von stein
We are examining the structure of reality. The music is composed of individual written and improvised pieces of music and text that often tumble over or interrupt one another.
Each episode in this series is one-of-a-kind – the quality will of course vary.

Airing dates are posted on this page and on www.mnn.org
