Mouth Odyssey

The History

Carl and Carlyle Weems were a popular father and son vaudeville team in the late 1800s. Eventually they tired of the shtick and yearned to speak to their audience in a more meaningful way.

In the year 1900, they began producing abstract performance art shows under the name Mouth Odyssey. They were ostracized from the vaudeville community. Rather than give up, they continued to hone their craft in whatever venues would have them. They refused to stop performing.

On the night of April 12th, 1900, Carl and Carlyle were performing for a small audience at a nameless tavern in Philadelphia. During their show, a time warp opened and sucked them 108 years into the future.

Now, in the hopes that one day they might return home, they wander the country doing the only thing they know: father and son performance art.
