ABOUT KILELE: UNA EPOPEYA ARTESENAL
 

Viajero, a riverine peasant, undertakes a journey to the land from which he was displaced by the war of the new gods. He must confront the horror of the past to bury his dead with ¡Kilele!, the chant of rebellion, jolgorio, and joy. Based on the story of the resilient Bojayá community in Colombia, Kilele is our conversation with the land, the water, y nuestros muertos after the war renders all unrecognizable.
 
Content Guidance: Kilele contains profanity, depictions of war, and references to the death of children.
