Ant Hampton / Rita Pauls (GB / ARG)
.For a week, British performance artist Ant Hampton and Argentinian actress and writer Rita Pauls criss-crossed the middle of Germany. Using what little German the two knew, the asked the people they picked up a question: "What do you think should be said one day?" They recorded the answers, memorizing them as a way to familiarize themselves with the German language and the country. In Mund-Stück these words and voices reappear, with all the pauses for thought and breath, moments of searching and hesitation. By repeating the words and phrases as faithfully as possible, Hampton and Pauls create a spoken word piece about the mentality of Germany in 2019 that is often hilarious and often terrifying.
