Impasse
Description
Impasse is a compelling exploration of ethnicity, identity and the experience of the Black diaspora.
In this powerful work, two performers confront the biased narratives etched onto Black bodies throughout history. These narratives, steeped in cultural imperialism, are laid bare with raw physicality and emotional intensity.
By challenging the historical racial projections of blackness – its crudeness, threat, sexuality, rage and immorality – the performance unveils its power, grace, sensuality, tenderness, intelligence and love.
Impasse goes beyond mere exploration and invites a reshaping of our sense of self and community. It reclaims our humanity and celebrates the autonomy and self-determination of Black bodies.
This performance of Impasse marks the first presentation of work in Northern Ireland produced with Luail, Ireland’s National Dance Company.
