Taylor Mac and Matt Ray’s The Hang will premier on January 7 at HERE Arts Center as part of the Prototype Festival. 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.
