MIGRAAAANTS at Theatre Passe Muraille

In Matei Visniec’s dark comedy Migraaaants, we journey with asylum seekers from war and unrest to an over-crowded boat, to an uncertain welcome in an unknown land. 

The mosaic of stories in Migraaaants leads us through the many facets of a global crisis: not only the terrifying journeys of those in flight but the machinations of deadly chaos shaped by political forces. 

Migraaaants is an immersive, multimedia performance about refugees who risk their lives to escape oppression. Through interconnected stories, the play captures the struggles, hopes, and fears of refugees and sheds light on the human impact of war and migration. 

“Because the show is inspired by the real stories of African and Middle Eastern refugees on their perilous journey to Europe, it explores the unbreakable human spirit within the refugee narrative, and gives audiences a chance to connect with the people beyond the headlines,” says director Siavash Shabanpour.
