La Venganza del Cacique was conceived from the development of a fable about the Cacique Lomiamarillo, an Amazonian bird whose main characteristic is to falsify the sound of more than two hundred birds. In this fable, the cacique is killed by explorers and resurrected five hundred years later, freeing himself from his body, which is subject to the laws of physical space. As he did in life, by imitating hundreds of songs, he decides to take his revenge by falsifying history. He embarks on a journey to alter the myth of European modernity in order to avoid the death of his family and the destruction of his home.
It addresses the infinite potential of the imagination as a regenerative force, challenging the power structures that relegate nature to a space of exploitation and domination. It exposes the multiple masks of the narrative of exploration and progress in the face of ecological devastation.
