WILL YOU MISS ME By The Hinterlands

A haunting song echoing across the holler draws a traveler into a funeral service for one of many white workers who moved from Appalachia to Detroit in the last century.  But this is no normal funeral and this is no ordinary corpse. Layering traditional Appalachian songs with family truths, pre-Christian mythology, brutal comedy, and rituals inherited and invented, Will You Miss Me? pushes audiences to examine the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and to grieve the selves that have been forgotten. 

Will You Miss Me? is an original performance created and performed by The Hinterlands with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and a development residency at Double Edge Theatre. 

Tickets available soon

Run time is approximately 75 minutes. Performance begins at 7:30PM.

OPEN TRAINING with The Hinterlands

OPEN TRAINING with The Hinterlands

Join us in the embodied research practice that we call "training." Training is investigation and practice for working on the self, for exploring group dynamics, and for researching performance material. It's not about fitting into an aesthetic or following choreography, but rather about finding ways to work together, listen, sense your body and voice and the bodies and voices of others. Discoveries made during training can be revelatory for performers and non-performers; no experience necessary. If you haven't made it out to one of our sessions yet, now is the time! Thanks to a generous grant from the Michigan Department of Labor, trainings are offered on a sliding scale from $0-$30 based on economic need and geography. Questions? Reach out! 

Play House (12657 Moran St, Detroit, 48212)
$0-$30 sliding scale based on need/free for 48212 residents
