Pacífico
Daniel Duque / France & Colombia / 2026 / World Premiere / 22 min
Pacífico is the name of a region, but also that of a force. A land where music accompanies life, where one can be reborn.
In the waters of Colombia’s Pacific coast, life is celebrated through a particular kind of song: the Arrullos. This music honors life in a territory marked by violence and armed conflict, where enslaved people once found refuge at the end of colonial rule. In these same waters, each year, thousands of whales arrive from Antarctica to give birth. Pacífico weaves a polyphonic narrative around birth in an aquatic space where body, territory, and memory are deeply intertwined.
