Small Mouth Sounds

A minimalist work of experimental theater, Small Mouth Sounds casts the audience as voyeurs in an entertaining adventure that gradually turns more serious. Set at a rustic retreat, the dramedy, presented by the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance, opens Feb. 27 in the Wyatt Pavilion Theatre. Directed by Peter J. Kuo, winter quarter Granada Artist-in-Residence, the play is set amid the overwhelming quiet of a haven in the woods, where six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with the achingly human need to connect. Content warning: Adult language, themes and situations.
