Obi Mbu (The Primordial House) (2021) is a 30 minute experimental dance film that is centered in the Primordial House, located in the Sirius star system, from which creation emerges. Eke-Nnechukwu, the Igbo high god, and Chukwu, her masculine counterpart, exist in perfect unity in and as the Blackness of space. Although they are dual aspects of the Primordial Androgynous deity, Chukwu sections off a part of space exclusively for himself in the form of a sacred pillared chamber in the heart of the Primordial House. He engages in a secret work by dancing in and out of this chamber, which sets off a chain of irrevocable circumstances that lead to our current world and condition.
Creative Process
In Obi Mbu (The Primordial House), Mikael Owunna and Marques Redd employ ultraviolet strobes, painted fluorescent backdrops, and carefully hand painted bodies of Black dancers, Corey Bourbonniere and Victoria Watford, that only glow under ultraviolet light. When photographed and filmed in total darkness, the shutter snaps, and synchronized beams of ultraviolet light illuminate a glowing scene that reanimates this particular Igbo creation myth of the Odachi ka Odachi.
