La Singla
Paloma Zapata
Spain, Germany - 2023 - 95’ - Hot Docs 2023
Antonia Singla was born in the suburbs of Barcelona and became deaf shortly after she was born. However, she learned to dance flamenco without hearing the music. At the age of 17, she made a revolution in the world of flamenco, but before she turned 30, she disappeared from the scene forever. Fifty years later, a young woman finds old archives and is captivated by them. La Singla seems to hide something tragic behind her gaze, conveying a passion that transcends physical dance. The dancer was painted by Salvador Dali, starred in an Oscar-nominated film, and then disappeared. Director Paloma Zapata follows the footsteps of La Singla to discover the secret of her dance style and her mysterious disappearance.
The screening of the film is supported by Instituto Cervantes and the Embassy of Spain in Bulgaria
