"The Cone of Uncertainty: New Orleans after Katrina"
Written & Performed by José Torres Tama
Three days after Katrina hit, performance artist José Torres Tama managed to escape the social chaos that submerged New Orleans on a stolen school bus, which was operating a rescue mission of Creole families. In "The Cone of Uncertainty," he explores the criminal negligence of the federal government, and the apocalyptic abandonment of a people who were made to beg for help and water. He also comments on larger issues concerning race and class in the U.S., the historical context of the storm, and the displacement of thousands of Latinos, whose traumatic stories were ignored by the mainstream press. Performed with "a magical-realist Latino voodoo aesthetic," he combines personal stories, storm film footage, and a variety of characters to offer a live art piece that is politically provocative, visually engaging, and profoundly moving.
