Abstract

'The Copla Solo' is a play with Copla songs telling the compelling story of drag artist La Gitana, who escaped Franco’s dictatorship in Spain to become a variety star in America in 1940. La Gitana’s story mirrors that of a queer Spanish migrant in the UK setting out on a journey of self-acceptance, inspired by La Gitana's remarkable experiences. This solo version explored the queerness and subversion of Spanish Copla, and what it takes to come to terms with who you are born to be.
