Orisa Ibeji

by Ahmed Yerima

Ahmed Yerima’s play celebrates the phenomenon of twins among the Yoruba people. Orisa Ibeji is also about man’s fear of death and love of life; destiny and reincarnation; and the place of the gods in human affairs. Yerima employs simple and beautiful language, dynamic characters and deft skill to navigate the labyrinth that is Orisa Ibeji.
