Furo Wariboko, a Nigerian, awakes the morning hours before a job interview to realize that he's been transformed into a white man. In this condition he plunges into the bustle of Lagos to make his fortune. Along with his red hair, inexperienced eyes, and pale skin, it seems he's been completely modified. Well, almost. There exists the matter of his family, his accent, his name. Oh, and his dark-colored ass. Furo must quickly figure out how to navigate a global made unfamiliar and deal with those who use him because of their own purposes. Used by a girl called Syreeta and pursued by a article writer named Igoni, Furo lands his first-ever job, adopts a fresh name, and soon locates himself growing in unanticipated ways. A. Igoni Barrett's Blackass is a brutal comic satire that touches on everything from race to social media while at the same time questioning the beliefs modern culture places on us simply by virtue of the way we look. As he performed in Love Is Power, or Something Like That, Barrett brilliantly depicts life in modern-day Nigeria and details the double-dealing and code-switching that are implicit in day-to-day business. But it's Furo's seek out an identity - one deeper than skin - that contributes to the final unraveling of his own carefully designed story.
