Performance

The Ballad of Doc QQQ

1 upcoming performance in New York

“The Ballad of Doc QQQ” arrives at Symphony Space as a live, documentary-minded portrait of a singular New York figure, told through music and spoken storytelling. Featured performers include Ani DiFranco, Tony Trischka, Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke, each adding a distinct register to the narrative. It plays like an inquiry into how a city manufactures its own legends, and what gets left out of the record. The most telling element is its refusal to tidy the story into simple heroics, which suits New York’s habit of complicating its myths.
