Tongues - NYU & Blessed Unrest collaboration created by Anna Kepe and Jonathan Haas

Tongues is a play about voices. Voices traveling. Voices becoming other voices. Voices from the dead and living. Hypnotized voices. Sober voices. Working voices. Voices in anguish.
Throughout this short play, the characters seem to be searching for their voices ... their identity ... reaching out ... trying to make contact with some unknown entity. An ex-lover? Someone who has died? God? Himself? The play ends with the characters possible enlightenment. "Today the tree bloomed without a word, tonight I'm learning its language."
The themes of the play are carried out in breathtaking monologues and dialogues that occur amongst the actors and the percussionists.
