Annie Wilson’s new work  Always the Hour is a durational, immersive performance that traces the influence of her grandfather, Gub. He grew up in rural western New York, was a bomber pilot and POW in WW2, developed alcoholism after the war, and died long before she was born. Using her liver as the site where her his ghost lingers, Wilson asks in Always the Hour: "How do we metabolize familial and generational harm? What does my body already know about the damage he inflicted and that which he endured? What choreographic strategies in the lineages in which I work give me access to that knowing?"

Tuesday thru Thursday, April 4-6, 2023  at staggered entry times beginning at 6PM
at Icebox Project Space, 1400 North American Street Phila PA 19122
