In Yet, Light, you are Blind, Loucka Fiagan draws on the work of Denise Ferreira da Silva and Fred Moten, alongside Cheikh Ath's reflection that "all the things unimaginable in the light may be possible in the dark", to explore the archetype of the shadow. The performance examines how shadows shape who we are, both as individuals and as a collective, and how they might create space for renewal. It invites us to see identity not as fixed or coherent, but as dynamic, fractured, and constantly becoming, particularly in relation to Black identity.

Alone on stage, yet supported by a multidisciplinary team, Loucka conjures and conceals shadows, shifting between clown, creature, ghost, and child. Through slam, stand-up, and rap, he creates a restless flow of forms and voices. A body and its shadows continuously collapse, reassemble, and resist settling into any final shape.

"What if being itself is haunted by its own absence?"
