  Door of No Return follows performance artist Gregory Maqoma as he explores his personal history through a performance at the House of Slaves on Gorée Island, Senegal, a site emblematic of one of the greatest human tragedies. In his quest to navigate the complexities of the past and present, Gregory’s art rewrites history. The film captures not only a stunning performance but also a powerful physical narrative where he uses his entire body, and movement becomes a means of memory and healing. Poignant, this short film delves into the connection between the artist’s expression and the space charged with both his personal and collective history.
