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.
