Meet the Team

Abraham Onazi is a versatile puppeteer, dancer and filmmaker with The MUD Art
Company, where he has been a pioneering member since its inception in 2017 in
Kaduna, Nigeria. With performances in all four of the company's productions – The MUD,
Plug, Compound, and An Fara – Onazi's work has not only resonated with Nigerian
audiences but has also taken him to international stages, including festival tours in
Ghana and Burkina Faso. In addition to his dancing career, Onazi serves as the
company's documentary cinematographer, capturing and documenting pivotal
moments through his filmmaking expertise when he’s not dancing.

Abraham began his work with THE HERDS in Lagos in April 2025, where he joined the
week-long puppetry performance program across the city. He is thrilled to be joining
THE HERDS company throughout Europe and the UK between May and July 2025.
