Ant Hampton and Rita Pauls hitch-hiked randomly through Germany, asking a question to those who’d pick them up – “what do you feel needs to be said?“. They explain that they’d like to record the answer, and then learn those words by heart as a way of learning German and assimilating into a country they both find themselves associated with: Rita has a German passport via her great-grandparents, Berliners fleeing Nazism in the 30’s; Ant now lives in Germany with a German partner and seeks a German passport for reasons both personal and political. In “Mouth Piece“, the driver’s answers now re-emerge from Ant and Rita’s mouths together with all original ifs, buts, accents, non-vocal noises and thinking time. They speak together in sync; two voices trying to be one, while their two bodies react differently to this patchwork of new sounds, vocal gymnastics and personal opinions.
