Culture is a vehicle for communication. Language, symbols and beliefs or religion being intrinsic elements of culture can greatly contribute to the effective communication and understanding of a dramatic message. Samuel Obikoya’s “Àìkú” reimagines the biblical story of creation and humanity’s fall through the lens of Christian theology and Yoruba cosmology, blending allegorical depth with rich spiritual and cultural aesthetics. This study examines the subtleties, subtext, and layers of meaning within Àìkú, analyzing how Obikoya employs symbolism, oral traditions, and allegory to convey complex themes such as divine justice, free will, and the consequences of disobedience. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs textual analysis to uncover the intricate ways the play engages with Yoruba cultural narratives and Christian theology. The study is grounded in key theoretical frameworks, including cultural studies, Yoruba dramaturgy, and theological allegory. It also employs intertextuality to explore how Àìkú interacts with its biblical sources and situates itself within Nigerian drama’s broader context of moral and philosophical inquiry. The analysis reveals that Àìkú not only addresses universal human struggles but also serves as a cultural artifact that preserves and celebrates Yoruba traditions while negotiating spiritual values. This research contributes to the growing body of scholarship on Nigerian literature by demonstrating how African drama can contribute to culture preservation and as a medium for examining timeless questions of spirituality, morality, leadership, and accountability. Through its exploration of Àìkú, the study highlights the enduring relevance of African dramatic traditions in addressing contemporary issues and fostering intercultural dialogue.
