Amador/stokes Presents AGUE: A BODY HORROR As Part Of SpringShot

AGUE explores what happens when one's body fails in a world where Institutional Health Care Bureaucracy and Late Stage Capitalism have merged.

Where: 18th & Union, 1406 18th Ave, Seattle, Wa 98122. Tickets available at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1006824.

All the man knows is that he is sick and getting sicker; he begins to get worried about it. He knows he should go to a hospital, but he's uninsured and decides to tough it out instead. He hears about a hospital that takes in hard luck emergency patients and then writes off the expense as a tax break. As things get worse, with no other available options, the man reluctantly agrees to give it a shot. This is the last thing he remembers with any certainty.

AGUE: A Body Horror is a horrific tale of a body's rebellion and the banality of institutional skulduggery seen through a subjective and impressionistic lens.

AGUE: A Body Horror is written and performed by José Amador (Theater Schmeater's Two Sisters and A Piano, amador/stokes' Duels and Carry We Openly, Annex Theatre's Black Like Us, Open Circle's Dark Ride).

AGUE: A Body Horror was first developed and workshopped at 18th & Union in February of 2018.

SpringShot is a grouping of live shows at 18th & Union that are fresh as a dewy morning in April, highlighting diverse artists in a varied program that includes everything from solo performance, magic and hypnotism, sketch comedy, clown, documentary theater, and more.
