A creative production house exploring new narrative forms
"The Gypsy Fred Astaire" – a visual and sonic profile of artist José Losada Santiago – seeks to capture the essence of the 82-year-old dancer, creating a nuanced portrait decontextualised from the clichés that surround Spanish folk dance.
Rather than make flamenco the sole focus of Santiago’s story, the director's goal is to emphasise the depth of the dancer’s feelings and the intensity of his life experiences as she works to push Spanish art and culture outside of the box they’ve traditionally been placed in.
