The performance After Hours plays out the end of a restaurant shift, where two female workers embody and process a fragmented aftermath of various trauma and exhaustion. The resulting neurotic choreography consists of scheduled panic attacks, a stasis of hoping, and compulsive competing and manipulation for attention. Within the looping choreography of three acts Maimon reflects on stories of female family rivalries, the effects of trauma as scores of living, and female labor (both emotional and physical).

Simultaneously, After Hours looks back at and is inspired by, two very different cultural relics; the Orient Express cinema commercial produced in 1986 by the artist’s father for the restaurant, which included a dance scene, as well as the Pina Bausch dance piece Café Müller, in which the renowned choreographer processed childhood memories of her father working in his Café after World War II.

After Hours was developed in and for the installation Family Business utilizing it as a set as installed at Gallery Wedding.
