Led by Washington Heights resident Andrew Ingall, the program will include storytelling, archival documents, photography, and artifacts framed by a dance-theater performance that conjures the lives of long-lost gay relatives who were partners in life and business for 58 years. The work will open a conversation about care for LGBTQ+ elders. In addition to the main performance, there will be an introductory queer tango class.
Co-hosted by Dance Project of Washington Heights, Fort Tryon Jewish Center, Fort Washington Collegiate Church, and Friends of Argentine Tango.
