Description

A thoughtful blend of social commentary and personal adventure, this narrative follows the young artist Alfonso Harris as he prepares to leave bustling New York for a trans‑Atlantic journey with his family. Torn between his father’s industrial empire and his own creative ambitions, Alfonso’s departure marks the start of a voyage that will test ideas about the partnership of capital and labor, all while a budding romance quietly unfolds.

Through vivid travel scenes and reflective passages, the story captures the optimism and anxieties of the early twentieth‑century world, inviting listeners to consider how ambition, love, and social experiment can intersect. As the characters navigate train stations, coastlines, and cultural encounters, the first act sets the stage for a larger exploration of whether cooperation can bridge the divide between wealth and the working class, promising an engaging and thought‑provoking listening experience.
