UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA: Dare to Remember is the new performance by award-winning inter-disciplinary troublemaker José Torres-Tama. Driven by a “magical realist Latino voodoo aesthetics,” he plays the role of a “shamanistic time traveler” to remind us that we are constantly seduced to forget and consume blindly in GrinGoLandia. With biting humor, he takes audiences on a time travel journey through hidden US histories, and cites the lingering pandemic pause that has unmasked serious fault lines in a capital empire besieged by a rise in hate crimes and biblical weather patterns. www.torrestama.com


ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMNESIA: Atrévete a Recordar es la nueva pieza del galardonado artista interdisciplinario y generador de problemas: José Torres-Tama. Con una estética de vudú latino llena de realismo mágico, el artista hace el papel de un chamán que viaja en el tiempo para recordarnos que constantemente somos seducidos para olvidar y consumir ciegamente en Gringolandia. Usando un humor mordaz, Torres-Tama guía al público por un viaje en el tiempo para desvelar la historia oculta de los Estados Unidos. También hace referencia a la pausa creada por la pandemia, la cual ha desenmascarado graves fallas en un imperio sitiado por el incremento en los crímenes de odio y fenómenos naturales bíblicos. www.torrestama.com
