Since the Pilgrims arrived without papers, why were they not deported?
ALIENS, IMMIGRANTS & OTHER EVILDOERS Written and Directed by José Torres-Tama Co-Presented with Highways Performance Space & Gallery
Aliens… is a creative response to the continuous attacks on Latino immigrants, which demonize them as scapegoats for the
economic failures of this country. This piece troubles the collective amnesia which has lead to these attacks, and demands that the nation as a whole take a hard look in the mirror. In light of the current Central American child refugee crisis, this timely performance is a call to action on Immigration Reform in the U.S. through an innovative sci-fi Latino-noir aesthetic. Aliens… satirizes the status of immigrants as “extraterrestrials,” and exposes the hypocrisy of a system that dehumanizes the same immigrants whose labor it readily exploits.
