Right Now

By | Published: June 10, 2009

If you haven’t been paying attention to Hidden City yet, now’s the time. Taking contemporary performance and installation work into historical spaces citywide, the project is staking a claim for understanding the significance of Philadelphia history through the art of today.

Tonight is the first of only two performances of Re-Sounding at the Royal Theater, which has been closed since 1970. Innovative saxophone composition, film screening, and a video installation are designed to reflect the Royal’s history while entrancing you tonight. Oops, tonight’s already sold out. A few tix are left for tomorrow, though. Move quickly!

Tonight (sold out) and tomorrow ($20), Re-Sounding, Royal Theater, 1524 South Street, Philadelphia. 8:00 pm. Hard hat provided (seriously).

    "Building an ensemble doesn’t really work, because it can’t be you being attracted to them, but them being attracted to the work. People with staying power are attracted to the work, the ideas. Not the other way around."
    Whit MacLaughlin, artistic director of New Paradise Laboratories
