Mouthpiece is a heart-wrenching and humorous journey into the female psyche. The performance is a virtuosic display of physical ingenuity and vocal orchestration.
In the wake of her mother’s death, Mouthpiece follows one woman, for one day, as she tries to find her voice. Interweaving a cappella harmony, dissonance, text, and physicality, two performers express the inner conflict that exists within one modern woman’s head.
Ranging from tender to merciless, with uncompromising precision, Mouthpiece magnifies a daughter’s contemplation of her mother, and becomes a rigorous investigation of womanhood itself.
Mouthpiece has been adapted into a feature film, by Patricia Rozema, Amy Nostbakken, and Norah Sadava. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, and is available for purchase through iTunes, Apple TV, and other streaming services.
