La Singla

A filmmaker is fascinated by the art of a flamenco dancer seen in archival footage from the 1960s and decides to follow the thread. The investigation leads her to Antonia Singla, a dancer who was born at the beach of Somorrostro in Barcelona and became deaf shortly after her birth. At the age of 17 she became a cult dancer internationally and in countries such as Germany she was considered the best in the world. When she turned 30, La Singla abruptly disappeared from the stage without a trace. Behind her fascinating gaze, La Singla hid a tragic story. The filmmaker, determined to unveil it, rescues from oblivion a woman who was ahead of her time, who made a great contribution to flamenco, gypsy culture and the deaf community and was unjustly erased from history.
