Unmuted is a new piece created remotely for the small screen. Made by a collective of theater artists, Unmuted explores themes of (dis)connection to our ancestry, to this moment, and to each other. While conventional theater spaces have been closed, Unmuted grew from a process rooted in playfully embracing the chaos of Zoom and striving for human connection in a time of isolation.
