Kick off Pride Month with Warlé on June 2 at 2:30pm.
This multimedia event takes place at Fort Washington Collegiate Church on 181st Street, near Fort Washington Avenue.
Using storytelling, archival documents, photography and tango, Warlé is a dance-theater performance that conjures the lives of long-lost gay relatives – who were partners in life and in business for 58 years – and opens a conversation about care for LGBTQ+ elders.
In addition to the performance, there will be an introductory queer tango class.
