This spring, they bring their award-winning work Have I No Mouth back home to tour across Ireland for the first time, following critical acclaim in Europe, America and Australia.
Have I No Mouth is written and performed by Brokentalkers’ Feidlim Cannon and his mother Ann. They are joined onstage by professional psychotherapist Erich Keller who guides them through an exploration of old memories, childhood recollections, and the different ways we can heal ourselves.Have I No Mouth is a moving and astonishingly unvarnished portrait of grief, and a celebration of the ever-changing relationship between a mother and son.
