An Underwater World Comes to BAM in Nehprii Amenii’s HUMAN

Step into the depths of an imagined ocean this December as BAM Fisher in Fort Greene hosts Nehprii Amenii’s HUMAN, a puppetry performance blending choreography and original music. The show’s first performance is scheduled for December 2, 2026, from 7:30pm to 8:40pm, inviting Brooklyn audiences to experience a story rooted in African traditions. If you’re considering a December evening at BAM, HUMAN offers a 70-minute journey through the eyes of Nacci, a young seahorse searching for vanished humans.

What to Expect from HUMAN

HUMAN is described by its creators as a blend of puppetry, choreography, and music, with Nehprii Amenii at the helm and original compositions by Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby. The narrative follows Nacci, a young seahorse, as they navigate an underwater world in search of humanity. The production draws inspiration from African traditions, with puppetry, movement and music shaping the storytelling. Puppetry alone does not establish age suitability. Ask BAM about content and age guidance before choosing this as a family outing.
