New York based not-for-profit theater company Houses on the Moon, and playwright Jeffrey Solomon creates acclaimed documentary plays. DE NOVO recounts the life and death of a Guatemalan teenager, Edgar Chocoy, who was deported after a failed asylum bid in the USA and murdered by the very group he testified would execute him were he to be returned to that country. With help of the NYC City Council, we were able to produce an audio adaptation of DE NOVO, which tells the story in three potent half hour episodes.

They launched their podcast in 2021 and this new series, DE NOVO, tells Edgar’s heart-wrenching story through real-life court transcripts and interviews, shedding light on the plight of unaccompanied alien minors and the human rights issues they face.

You can listen to all three episodes here!

At Philippi, Octavius and Antony disagree over tactics but unite against Brutus and Cassius when they meet for one final negotiation before battle. They hurl insults at each other and part ways. Brutus and Cassius discuss what will happen if they lose. Brutus vows he will not be taken captive. The two friends say goodbye and go into battle. As Brutus attacks Octavius’s army, Cassius watches his troops flee from Antony’s soldiers. When he hears from Pindarus that Antony has entered his camp, Cassius realizes that he is likely to die on this day, which happens to be his birthday. He tells Pindaurs to kill him with his own sword. Pindarus obeys and flees, embracing her freedom. Upon discovering Cassius’s body, Titinius sends Messala to find Pindaus. Once alone, Titinius kills himself with Cassius’s sword. Brutus gets word that Cassius is dead and does his best to rally his troops. Young Cato is killed.
