Orishas (2001)

Director: M. Asli Dukan | 14:22min | HD | stereo | Screen upon request

What if Oya, (Yoruban Orisha) is called to earth but loses their memory on their journey there? They wander modern day Harlem encountering its inhabitants and avoiding other Orishas (in disguise) while they try to understand their purpose there. One thing is for certain though, deities always act like deities, even when they don’t remember who they are.

Performers: Jo Oliveira, Louisa Brown, Dorine Horn, Yor-El Francis, Wali Muhammad, Duane Vargas
