Crushing Wheelchairs / Aplastando las Sillas de Ruedas (2023 production)

Theatre Written, Lived and Died by Houseless, Disabled Humans Swept like We R Trash

We are NOT actors, we are NOT performing poverty or disability. All of us “Cast” members are houseless, formerly houseless poverty skolaz who along with me, tiny gray-garcia aka povertyskola have co-created our HERstories and Histories in a six month workshop presented by the Theatre of the POOR project at POOR Magazine. This play honors the lives, survival, spirits and love of Luis G, Luis T, Steven Taylor, Papa Bear, Jessica Nelson Williams, Laure McElroy, Iris Canadá, Kathy Galvez, my Mama Dee Garcia, Shannon Marie Bigley, Desiree Quintero and so many more of us houseless humans who have died because of the violence of anti–poor people hate, racism, ableism, classism, PoLice terror, poltricks, homelessness and “the lie of rent” as I call it, in this occupied indigenous land known as the US.

Teatro escrito, vivido y muerto por humanos sin hogar y discapacitados barridos como si fuéramos basura

NO somos actores, NO estamos realizando pobreza o discapacidad. Todos nosotros los miembros del “Reparto” somos skolaz de pobreza sin hogar, anteriormente sin hogar que junto a mí, tiny gray-garcia aka poverty skola, han co-creado nuestras historias en un taller de seis meses presentado por el proyecto Teatro de los POBRES en POOR Magazine. Esta obra honra las vidas, la supervivencia, los espíritus y el amor de Luis G, Luis T, Steven Taylor, Papa Bear, Jessica Nelson Williams, Laure McElroy, Iris Canadá, Kathy Galvez, mi Mama Dee Garcia, Shannon Marie Bigley, Desiree Quintero y muchos más de nosotros, humanos sin hogar que hemos muerto a causa de la violencia de los pueblos anti-pobres, odio, racismo, ableismo, clasismo, terror policial, etc. La política, la falta de vivienda y “la mentira de la renta” como yo lo llamo, en esta tierra indígena ocupada conocida como los Estados Unidos.
