Quick before the story ebbs away.
There are things I need to tell you A work of great strength and equal delicacy, Mouth transports us to a world where violence hangs in the air, where beauty, pity and cruelty intertwine. The sequence at its heart, Palace, takes the overlooked women from the edges of Greek tragedy and places them center stage, to tell unforgettable stories of survival and loss. With new depth and force, their voices set off echoes with women navigating the terrible reality and aftermath of war today. As a human rights lawyer, Arshi saw power and its abuses, the structures of silencing set against refugees. As a poet, she charts the movements and migrations that change the course of our lives - from child to adult, from home to elsewhere, from grief to what lies beyond. Mouth is a complex and original study of speaking's limitations, chasms in communication, but also the unexpected power of silence: 'sometimes / language picks us clean'.
