Annie Wilson’s Always The Happy Hour

Philadelphia Dance Projects premieres Annie Wilson’s durational, immersive performance that traces the influence of her grandfather, Gub, who 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 his ghost lingers, Wilson asks in Always the Hour , “How do we metabolize familial and generational harm? What choreographic strategies in the lineages in which I work give me access to that knowing?”

With multiple entry times beginning at 6PM these performances are for mature audiences.
