Description
An attempt to understand politics of the Black body in contemporary western society, interrogating notions of representation and misrepresentation. In this powerful work, two performers confront biased narratives etched onto Black bodies throughout history. Narratives, steeped in cultural imperialism, violence, exploitation, marginalisation, and powerlessness, are laid bare with raw physicality and emotional intensity. By challenging historical racial projections of blackness – its crudeness, threat, sexuality, rage and immorality – the performance unveils power, grace, sensuality, tenderness, intelligence and love. Impasse reclaims our humanity and celebrates the autonomy, self-determination of Black bodies. Programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
