Impasse

About

Mufutau Yusuf’s Impasse is a stunning, charged duet that seeks to understand the politics and representation of the Black body in contemporary western society. Mixing sounds of his Yoruba roots with Bach and hip-hop, the performers challenge historical racial projections of blackness—steeped in cultural imperialism, violence, exploitation, marginalisation and powerlessness—to reclaim its humanity and self-determination.
