Jose Torres Tama: We Are Patriots With Dark Faces

This performance by Jose Torres Tama “confronts assimilation and survival as a dark-faced man within a cultural labyrinth of mixed messages.” Tama uses corporate slogans, bilingual poetry, and sardonic humor to express the struggle for identity in a culture that will not fully accept people of color, but demands that they conform.
