Mufutau Yusuf
Irish Arts Center
April 21-24
Nigerian-born Yusuf brings the New York City and world premiere of the evening-length work, Òwe. With “…Òwe—“proverb” in the Yoruba language—Yusuf seeks to decode his personal identity through the lens of the ancestral, in an evocative confluence of personal, ritual, and digital archives. And through a charged amalgam of traditional and contemporary movement, with music and soundscape, video projection, sculptural set elements, and text, the stage teems with symbolic and literal representations of traditions and histories foundational to, and blurred within, Yusuf’s sense of identity,” according to the release.
