Sydney Festival presents
Jali: noun: a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician.
Refusing to be defined by a turbulent past, comedian and performer, Oliver Twist, reflects on his time as a refugee while carefully unpacking his present-day experiences.
Delicately-told and impossible to forget, his one-person show proves that exceptional storytelling and belly-aching laughter are powerful antidotes to trauma.
★★★★ "The venue feels full of life, warmth, and vitality—and it's all because of Twist... This is why we came back to the theatre."The Sydney Morning Herald
★★★★ "Find an evening hour in your week, and fill it with this."Audrey Journal
