An interdisciplinary solo performance created and performed by Mette Loulou von Kohl, No one likes an ugly revolutionary explores the artist’s relationship with the Palestinian resistance fighter Leila Khaled and the connections that shape armed resistance, terrorism, fetish, reverence, internalized orientalism, and diasporic longing.
