Performance

The Spirit of Ani

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Symphony Space, *The Spirit of Ani* appears as part of “New York Proud: Stories from the City of Immigrants,” a Waterwell-curated evening built around personal narrative and civic memory. Featured performers include Ani DiFranco, Tony Trischka, Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke, moving between song, spoken text, and performance. The through line is New York as a city shaped by arrivals, labor, and reinvention, with artists using different forms to test what belonging sounds like. Its sharpest insight is that the program treats immigration less as theme than as an ongoing condition of the city.
