The Most
Unsatisfied Town

In these fights, the winner is determined from the start. It’s not a boxing match with a surprise finish, the underdog toppling the champion. Try to make peace and you’re devoured alive; fight back and the police take you away, accusing you of starting the fight. And God knows what comes after that …

Based on the death-in-custody of Oury Jalloh and the political movement that arose from the case, The Most Unsatisfied Town takes an intimate look at a community transformed by an unspeakable act of violence. This work-in-progress presentation will be followed by a conversation open to the public with artists and special guests.

Performed by: Martha Fessehatzion, Michael Ojake and David Wurawa
