MOUTHZZZBRAINLOUD is a poem from the future. It is non-narrative and therefore not character-based. Rather than casting for performers to perform their identities within the vehicle of story, we are searching for performers to experiment with type within the context of poetry. We are searching for performers who have a generous energy and want to push/press/pull language and ideas in new directions, to take ownership of the text and make it their own.
