Performance

Fictional Selves

1 upcoming performance in New York

“Fictional Selves” arrives at Symphony Space as a New York live-literary event built around the way people revise their own narratives. The program brings together Ani DiFranco, Tony Trischka, Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke, moving between spoken story and music in a format closer to salon tradition than concert billing. In a city where biography is often treated like a résumé, it asks what gets edited out, and what those omissions cost. The strongest moments tend to be the plainest ones, when performance gives way to testimony.
