Top of PageMo(u)rning
Synopsis:
Set at a 9-11 disaster site but not a "9-11 play", MO(U)RNING concerns two men buried under the rubble unable to move or see. One speaks only Spanish while the other only English. their struggle to communicate mirrors their struggle to survive as they create a private language between them using shared words that communicate basic truths. MO(U)RNING continues in vignettes following the language game of these victims, the fruitless search of the rescue workers, and the laments of a powerless viewer in front of a television.
