INTRODUCING...

¡salsa!

💥Directed by: Antonina Kerguelén Román

🌍From: Columbia

💫Made in: 2024

In between prejudiced gazes, Margarita, a free-spirited woman and salsa music lover, walks away from her marriage searching for her own identity. Her path crosses with Liana’s, a deaf tourist. Seeing in Liana a world foreign to her own, Margarita finds the perfect company to explore her true being and decides to teach Liana how to dance, understanding her deafness as an opportunity for a different type of communication, tactile and corporeal.

We can't wait to share ¡salsa! as part of our "Embodied Narratives: Global Stories Through Movement" screening.
We love how it captures the balance between narrative and movement to create an immersive storyline for all audiences. The film is beautifully shot and provides a great example of representation of D-deaf communities within Screendance.
