La Singla
The moving life story of a legendary flamenco dancer
When Antonia Singla took the stage to dance, she did so without ever hearing the music. Born deaf in the heart of a Romani family in the Somorrostro neighbourhood of Barcelona, she achieved international fame at the age of 17, captivating audiences with her powerful presence. At the peak of her fame, she disappeared, and half a century later, a young woman embarks on a quest to find Antonia and understand La Singla’s unparalleled passion. The film weaves together the past and the present in a captivating exploration of dance as an expression of fury and the legacy of one of the greatest flamenco dancers of all time.
