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 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.
United States of Amnesia: Dare to Remember is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by GALA Hispanic Theatre in DC in partnership with the Ashé Cultural Arts Center in New Orleans.
