Photo Flash: Hand2Mouth Brings SOMETHING'S GOT AHOLD OF MY HEART to La MaMa, Now thru 1/20

Hand2Mouth (www.hand2mouththeatre.org) is a young-and-hungry ensemble theater company that is, paradoxically, the 'old guard' of the Portland (OR) experimental theater scene and has been making powerful new work for the last decade. The company returns to La MaMa tonight, January 10 to 20 with 'Something's Got Ahold of My Heart,' its newest creation, that wrestles with the yearning, euphoria and eviscerating tragedy of love. Weaving an energetic blend of 70's pastiche, romantic comedy excerpts, dance theater, testimonials, original music and aggressive physicality, it invites its audience into a deeply emotional experience.
