Khunum Productions


  • Misión

    Khunum Productions is a theatrical production and creative consulting company rooted in the practice of Creative Anthropology -- where art becomes a tool for studying humanity and restoring cultural memory. We create immersive, narrative-based works that blend the personal, the social, and the magical to transform the human heart -- and by extension, society. Our focus is the excavation and reconstruction of African peoples of the diaspora, whose cultural identities have undergone a unique erasure process. Like an archeological restoration artist, we use imagination, movement, storytelling, and puppetry to recover what has been lost. Our aim is not simply to perform, but to reawaken memory, reconnect art to spirit, and return culture to its sacred root. We are interested in the study of what makes us human, and the interconnectedness of all people and things. We strive to make the artistic process of creating together equally as beautiful as our productions.

    Acerca de

    Khunum Productions is a live performing arts company dedicated to the art of Creative Anthropology. We use theater to explore what makes us human. Founded by award-winning director and creative anthropologist Nehprii Amenii, we create highly visual, narrative-based works that blend the personal, the social, and the magical. Rooted in African diasporic heritage and boldly avant-garde in form, our productions bridge ancestral knowledge with innovative performance - reshaping how audiences experience theater. Our vision and capacity extend to creating works on a global scale, capable of meeting the creative demands of international festivals, cultural milestones, and world-stage ceremonies.

    Our work has been recognized and supported by the National Endowment for the Arts (multi-year recipient), New York State Council on the Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York Women in Media, New York Foundation for the Arts, The Drama League, Center for Puppetry Arts, Alvin Ailey, the Jim Henson Foundation, The Shed, La MaMa, and the New York Philharmonic.
