Migraaaaants: There’s Too Many People on This Damn Boat
by Matéi Visniec
Translated by Nick Awde
This satirical comedy explores the plight of migrants as they cross seas, deal with profiteers, face dehumanization and exploitation, and navigate cultural and political barriers on their endless obstacle course to other countries. Visniec sheds a critical, sobering, and realistic perspective that helps us understand the human elements of migration.
