Killa, Premiered in 2014, "Killa" was the first creation by siblings Bea and Pablo Delgado. Rooted in the primal language of whistling, this piece taps into the ancient and universal practice of using whistles as a means of communication and expression— a method dating back to our earliest ancestors. Traditionally, whistles have been used across cultures as signals in ritual, hunting, and in transmitting messages across vast distances. "Killa" resurrects this language, channeling it through the body’s movements and immersing the audience in a visceral experience.
In "Killa," the whistle is not merely a sound but an echo that travels, reverberating through space and leaving a shadow imprinted on the dancers' bodies. As the performers respond to these invisible forces, each movement embodies the whistle's lingering presence—an intangible memory that shapes and reshapes them. This piece blurs the line between sound and movement, suggesting that memories, like echoes, continue to influence us even in silence.
By bringing this ancient form of expression into a contemporary context, Killa invites the audience into a shared experience that resonates with both history and modernity. From intimate theaters to unconventional art spaces, Killa has captivated audiences and inspired reflection on how the past’s echoes influence the present.
Ideal for settings that honor both tradition and innovation, Killa provides a bridge between cultural history and modern movement, perfect for art galleries, dance festivals, and unique performance venues.
