Dayana Esebe

Dayana Esebe’s got one of those filmographies that quietly sneaks up and smacks you with range. In Rich Flu (2024), she dives straight into the chaos of a world flipped inside out by a bizarre epidemic where the wealthy are actually dropping like flies. The guy next door? Suddenly worth more than a billionaire. It’s a wild take on greed, fear, and the weird ways people scramble when cash no longer saves anyone. Esebe’s role is this gritty, desperate survivor—someone you root for, even when she’s making choices that might make your jaw drop. Wind it back a bit to Ima (2022), and you’re in a totally different universe. Here, she’s tangled up in a family drama that’s all about the emotional bruises nobody talks about. Her performance, honestly, just wrecks you. She’s raw, stubborn, loving, and lost all at once. The film peels back layers of identity, tradition, and what it actually means to break free from the expectations of those closest to you. Esebe nails that messy, human vibe. Coloré (2020) is where things get dreamier. The movie’s got this vibrant, almost surreal energy—think art house, but with real soul. Esebe’s character is caught between two worlds, literally and metaphorically, and you can’t help but get sucked into her journey to find herself in a place that doesn’t make sense. There’s longing, hope, and a touch of rebellion, all bottled up in her performance. Each of these roles? They’re proof Dayana Esebe isn’t just passing through—she’s here to shake things up.
