Synopsis
Born deaf, Antonia Singla could not hear the music, and developed the talent of dancing following the sounds and rhythms that she kept in her memory. At the age of 17, she was already considered one of the best flamenco dancers in the world. However, while some of her colleagues became icons of flamenco, La Singla disappeared from the stage before she turned 30. Now time has come to reclaim her story.
