Kid-Simple follows Moll, a child prodigy who invents a machine for hearing sounds that can’t be heard. But when a shapeshifting Mercenary steals the invention (and her heart), she must embark on a quest to save sound as we know it. Accompanied by the last boy-virgin in the eleventh grade, Moll crosses bottomless chasms and rafts raging rivers into a surreal world where sound is always more than what meets the ear. Kid-Simple is a quirky fable of innocence and experience, love and loss, which combines live sound effects, slide projections, and unruly onomatopoeia into an exhilarating and fanciful comedy.
