UNITED STATES OF AMNESIA:

from Fugitive Slave Act to Zero Tolerance Policy:


Performing the roles of shamanistic time-travelers chronicling the hidden history of a nation that seduces its citizenry to embrace forgetting, José Torres-Tama & ArteFuturo Productions’ ensemble of Black and Brown performance poets revisit laws such as the Fugitive Slave Act (1793) to Operation Wetback (1954) to Zero Tolerance Policy (2018).


They expose a U.S. narrative of official legislation strategically written to "dispossess people of color" from their inalienable constitutional rights and criminalize their liberated bodies in the United States of Amnesia, a "freedom-loving" nation that seduces its citizenry to forget the white supremacist foundation of a capitalist empire built on
near extermination of Indigenous People and enslavement of Africans.

All Fall 2021 US OF AMNESIA Performances
have been suspended because of Hurricane Ida challenges.

​We are planning for shows in spring of 2022.
