Performances of The Hang will continue with performances now beginning January 20.
Today, the directors of the PROTOTYPE Festival, alongside partners St. Ann's Warehouse, La Mama Experimental Theatre Club, and Abrons Arts Center, announced the difficult decision to postpone this year's tenth anniversary festival to January of 2023, due to the current surge in COVID cases and the resulting safety risks, as well as logistical challenges including artist and staff illnesses, travel complications, and more. The Festival was scheduled to run January 7-16, 2022.
The performance run of The Hang, Taylor Mac's and Matt Ray's re-imagining of the final hours of Socrates' life, will continue as planned through February at HERE, though the first performance will be pushed back to January 20. Beth Morrison Projects and St. Ann's Warehouse hope to present Huang Ruo and Basil Twist's Book of Mountains & Seas later this season. HERE and La Mama Experimental Theatre Club also hope to present Grace Galu and Baba Israel's Cannabis! A Viper Vaudeville later this season as well. All other previously-scheduled events - including Daniel Bernard Roumain and Marc Bamuthi Joseph's The All Sing - "Here Lies Joy", Emma and Mark O'Halloran's Trade, Silvana Estrada's Marchita, and digital offering Undine - will be postponed.Videos
