About
Available to license in 2K and 4K, Niyah and the Multiverse follows Niyah, an imaginative Chicago pre-teen, on a visually stunning Afrofuturist journey through the multiverse! This show explores leading multiverse theories such as many worlds, shadow matter, and bubble universes. With stories from her parents and ancestors, her favorite comic books, and her science class swirling around in her imagination, Niyah comes face-to-face with her grown-up self—an astrophysicist who studies these theories!
Niyah and the Multiverse is the capstone of a years-long collaboration between the Adler and experts in Afrofuturism and African cultures. The show features an original script by Chicago-based creatives Taylor Witten and Ytasha Womack; the talent of local voice actors; and art, music, and photography from local and international partners.
