Commissioned for the ***Speaking in Tongues*** exhibition, ***Mouth Full of Spirits*** is a live vocal ritual by **Ron Athey** and **Carmina Escobar** that unfolds through glossolalia, breath, and embodied sound. At the threshold where language collapses, the performers enter a shared field of utterance in which voice detaches from meaning and becomes conduit, force, and residue. Each body holds its own opening, its own passage. In this work, sound emerges not as communication, but as visitation, fragmented, excessive, irreducible.
