A prose is a structured form of narration that evolved from classical works on history. Mufutau Yusuf’s choreography Proses on neither here nor there takes the form’s stable structure into the realm of movement and makes a pulsating story about transience, passage, the unfolding of life across time and loss.

Set against the backdrop of global unrest, Proses on neither here nor there is a meditation on how we live, what we leave behind, and the legacy we shape. It contemplates the fragility of human life and the quiet strength found in its impermanence.

Through the body and the language of dance, the work offers a meditative space to engage with notions of mortality with reflection and curiosity. It embraces themes of decay, transformation and renewal, inviting people to consider death not as an end, but as a vital part of existence, as a cycle within the force of nature.

The work premiered on 10 July 2025, as part of BENCH #5, at Georges Dock, Dublin, Ireland.

The work was selected by Aerowaves in 2026
