“When we first saw Norah and Amy’s breath-taking performance in Toronto we were speechless. MOUTHPIECE touches on every part of the female experience from birth to death using dance, music, and wicked humour with just a bathtub for scenery. The result is a new kind of feminist language, which ignites pure, intravenous emotion. It’s impossible to describe and truly unforgettable.”
A heart-wrenching, humorous journey into the female psyche, MOUTHPIECE received rave reviews and awards at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017.
MOUTHPIECE follows one woman, in the wake of her mother’s death, 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.
