Antonia Singla was once considered the best flamenco dancer in the world. Born deaf in the slums of Barcelona and unable to speak until she was a teenager, dance became the language through which she expressed herself. La Singla’s striking movements—and intense gaze—were seared with passion and revolutionized the art form. Then, suddenly, at the height of her fame, she vanished without a trace.
Paloma Zapata is known for La Singla (2023), Casamance: La banda sonora de un viaje (2016) and Peret: My Name is Rumba (2018).
