For Mufutau Yusuf, all attempts at doing justice to the violent and still intact projections of the Western world onto Black people lead into an Impasse. The same goes for the conscious or unconscious demands of a mostly white audience for a “performance about racism”. Even the term “audience” doesn’t sit right with the Nigerian-born, Ireland-based performer-choreographer: “They are witnesses. It’s a ritual.” Yusuf isn’t aiming for straightforward communication; he wants to create striking images that resonate precisely in their intangibility. In a set designed by Yusuf himself and accompanied by a vivid soundscape (by Tom Lane and Mick Donohoe), a duet unfolds between visibility and seclusion – in these bodies, there are forces at play that reach far beyond them.
