THE FIFTH WORLD
A serial audio play written by Gabriel Ruiz and co-directed by Lorena Diaz and Gabriel Ruiz
At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, Sebastian Reyes arrives in the small desert town of Palomas, Arizona to make his name producing a true crime story about a missing child in the desert. But Seba’s true purpose becomes frighteningly clear as his search fatefully entangles him in a horrifying myth as old as the world.
“I think this is the story of a need to find and connect with another human being when the future of the world depends on it.”
What is your destiny to witness?
The Fifth World is a serial audio play written by Artistic Collective Member Gabriel Ruiz. It is voiced by an all TVP Artistic Collective cast.
