We don’t learn the names of Socrates’ acolytes there’s too much going on for that. Individuality is the clarion call of this show, whose most joyous moments are about the virtues that various cast members bring to a performance that often does have the feel of a hang among friends - albeit friends of extraordinary artistry, like Kat Edmonson and Synead Cidney Nichols with their gorgeous scatting, and Wesley Garlington with the most flirtatious whistle solo you’ve ever heard. It champions him because of that, and because in his refusal to bow to orthodoxy, he insisted on being himself no matter the cost. To “The Hang,” Socrates’ corruption charge was about having sex with young men, not about teaching them radical ideas. With Mac (who wrote the book and lyrics) as a benevolent Socrates, thinking on virtue and sharing the spotlight with the rest of the large cast and an eight-piece band led by Ray (who wrote the music), this show is willfully amoebic in form: an act of resistance to structure from the team who created Mac’s ultra-structured masterpiece, “ A 24-Decade History of Popular Music.” It is also very, very downtown, and movingly so if that is the kind of theater that feeds you: an intimate space, an enormous amount of talent, a pile-on of eye-popping design, all in service of a work of art that wants nothing to do with the mainstream. Narrative neatness is not one of its attributes. That, right there, is the kernel of Socratic wisdom to clutch to your heart like a mantra as you surrender to the glorious, glamorous muchness of the mystery that is “The Hang,” a show for which you will not have all the proper information - not in advance, not as you’re experiencing it, maybe not even afterward. “Frankly,” the philosopher says in “The Hang,” Taylor Mac and Matt Ray’s new opera, which is really more of an exuberant jazz cabaret minus the patter, “there’s something uncourageous about engaging in a mystery when you have all the proper information.” How long will the hemlock take to kill him? Also, do we really need to know? In stiletto heels and cascading lilac gown, with flowers for hair and blossoms in his beard, Socrates is dying rather leisurely, surrounded by acolytes.
