With the anti-immigrant hysteria gripping the U.S. twenty plus years since the 9/11 tragedy, José Torres-Tama takes the Immigration issue head-on in his critically acclaimed “ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS & OTHER EVILDOERS.”
With the anti-immigrant hysteria gripping the U.S. twenty plus years since the 9/11 tragedy, award-winning performance artist / activist, published playwright and poet, José Torres-Tama takes the Immigration issue head-on in his critically acclaimed “ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS & OTHER EVILDOERS.” The artist deftly shape-shifts into nine characters that challenge the dehumanization of immigrants in a system that readily exploits their labor. Visually dynamic, profoundly moving, and a hilariously funny “tour de force,” he offers a clarion call to action for the “United States of AMNESIA” to remember its mythic promise as the “land of the free” carved into the iconic Statue of Liberty. His comic battle cry is NO GUACAMOLE for Immigrant Haters!

“In a visually stunning one-man performance using ritual as art, José Torres-Tama takes you on a painful journey from the sacred to the profane, as he embodies the dozen most dramatic of the 100 stories he personally video recorded over a ten-year period as his magnus opus effort to “document the undocumented.” —DC Metro News Theater Arts
