Performance

We Thought They'd Never Leave

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Symphony Space, *We Thought They’d Never Leave* lands as a live, NYC-centered evening that threads personal testimony through performance. Ani DiFranco and Tony Trischka bring the musical spine, with Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke adding spoken narrative and character work. The piece looks at what happens after an ending that was supposed to be permanent, and how communities revise their stories when people return. Its cultural weight comes from treating memory as a public record, not a private possession.
