Terrence Laragione/ Justin Coffin “I’m the reminder of what can go wrong. The in-between thing that’s not this and not that. What failed and what’s going to break. Potholes. Roots getting into service pipes. Homeowner problems, tenant problems, try-hard problems, and the problems that arise when someone just doesn’t like your face.” This is a real Philadelphia story, but it’s not The Philadelphia Story. This is a tour of the River Wards led by a figure in a bunny suit. It’s a story of memory and loneliness, told in Terrence Laragione’s paintings and Justin Coffin’s voice, designed by Hannah Kneisley and conveyed with the lightness and humor of a survivor who’s here to tell the truth, even if that truth is embroidered a little and then exaggerated a little more. This is El Bunny.
