ABOUT RAGS OF NIGHT IN OUR MOUTHS –
Standing in the midst of her childhood home, Margo Wheaton was struck by two things: the extent of the damage caused by her father’s and stepmother’s alcoholism and the life force that pulsed in the once-vibrant rooms and yard – in the abandoned trees, neglected flowerbeds and gardens her parents had planted and tended for decades. Radiant, grieving, and intensely musical, RAGS OF NIGHT IN OUR MOUTHS is an exploration of human and environmental states of precarity and vulnerability.
