VERY FINE PEOPLE
THE TRIAL OF THE TIKI TORCH NAZIS

La MaMa ETC
47 Great Jones St.
August 2017. Unite The Right: a who's-who of the American Alt-Right, neo-Confederates, neo-Nazis, White Nationalists, and Aryan Identitarians gather in Charlottesville, Virginia. They carry tiki torches and chant “Jews will not replace us.” Violence and pandemonium. One attendee drives his car into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing one woman and injuring dozens. Then-president Donald Trump says that there were “very fine people on both sides.”
October 2021. Sines v. Kessler: the event organizers are sued in civil court by nine injured parties. They are accused of “conspiracy to commit racially motivated violence.” The trial is a baffling, chaotic farce.
Please join us August 14th & 15th at La MaMa for our SIXTH work-in-progress
drawn from the verbatim trial transcripts:
