Duende

Duende, the Spanish word for soul, was originally used to describe the passion and spirit of evocation of the flamenco dancers from Andalucia, southern Spain. It is precisely this transcendent quality which makes flamenco a dance form capable of expressing an incredible range of human emotions, gifting audiences with unparalleled aesthetic experiences. 

Set in the heartland of Geylang, the film explores the spirit of Duende that exists halfway across the world - in Singapore. We follow in the footsteps of an average Singaporean and flamenco dancer, Daphne Huang. She shares with us her strong passion for the Spanish cultural art form along with many other Singaporeans from all walks of life. Duende is the winner of the European Union Center Documentary Competition and had its premiere in the Guam International Film Festival.
