About the play
Migraaaants or There’s Too Many People On this Damn Boat is written by French-Romanian, Paris-based playwright Matéi Visniec.
Visniec’s dark comedy written shortly after the so-called "refugee crisis" in Europe, focuses on the issue of migration. 26 short scenes explore the plight of migrants as they cross seas, deal with profiteers, face dehumanization and exploitation, navigate cultural and political barriers on their endless obstacle race to the host country.
A brilliant and bold satire shining a critical and sobering light onto one of the biggest human tragedies of our time.
