Dansclick 24: X_YUSUF_BOSS

Korzo

Winner of the BNG Bank Prize Mohamed Yusuf Boss explores the fragmented self in Líx.
 

‘People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.’

James Baldwin


Proceeding from the idea that one’s history is not something in the past, but something that is stored inside one, he explores his bicultural background. What does it mean to grow up in the Netherlands as a first generation Somali? What happens when histories meet? And not only histories, but also the dance languages of Mohamed, hip-hop, and the traditional Somali dance Jaandheer? 

LÍX (the number six in Somali) is the third part of a series of performances that Boss and his company _X_YUSUF_BOSS has created. Where the central question in KÒW was ‘how do you relate to your surroundings?’, and in AFAR ‘how do you relate to the other?’, LÍX poses the question, ‘how do you relate to your self?’
