American folk songs explode and foreign languages are butchered as the collaborative theater company Hoi Polloi trains its sights on choral singing in America.

A 25-person choir is at the center of The less we talk - an exploration of group singing that combines the singing of choral staples such as "Shenandoah" with the awkward moments between songs in which the members of the choir try desperately to prolong the harmony so easily won through song. Romances blossom and founder, territory is disputed, and a musical utopia is ardently sought in this radical re-imagining of how we, as Americans, come together and how we fall apart.
