Taylor Mac and Matt Ray’s new work The Hang opens tonight at HERE Arts Center in New York.
After a schedule shuffle and delays due to The Omicron variant, the show now runs from Jan 20-Feb 20. We can’t wait to see you there!
The Hang is a ritual celebration of queerness, questions, and the eternity of a moment. Rooted in the jazz tradition and operatic form, it imagines the final hours of the life of Socrates, as he asks his friends to use every moment left to think on virtue. What transpires is a centuries-long communal consideration, full of jazz, dance, debates, and queer romps.
