Works
EntreCuerpos
Solo performance by Isadora Milan
EntreCuerpos is a solo performance directed and performed by Isadora Milan, an encounter between Vogue and Flamenco, two heritages forged in marginalised histories and resistance.
​
It embodies unruly and expanding femininities in a continuum of transformation: awakening and enlightenment, self-affirmation and empowerment, sovereignty and celebration, ignited by the primitive and the instinct.
​
Framed by the contorted and sculptural lines of New Way Vogue, a photographic and couture gaze, inherited from ballroom culture and its aesthetics, reimagines flamenco poetry as a living extension of being, a vessel of audacity, grace, sensuality, playfulness and fierce power.
In this confluence of heritage and reinvention, the living femininity and queer essence bloom as intimate, political and viscerally beautiful.
An invitation to enter a space where presence remembers and reclaims itself.

Performances & Collaborations
Tepui Etéreo
Performance and installation by Daniel Rey
Performance and installation by Daniel Rey, premiered at the Sarabande Foundation (London) as part of his solo show Islands In The Sky.
Performed by a collective ensemble including Isadora Milan.
Tepuy Etéreo (Ethereal Tepui) is a civilisation somewhere in the future.
Its individuals have radical approaches to intimacy. They believe in collective healing.
They come from the land.
"Our body is a landscape, the landscape a body. Veins echo rivers, bones hold the weight of mountains, skin mimics soil.
What are we, if not living archives — porous patchworks of geographies, languages, and lineages, bound by knots that strain against each other?"
— Extract from the text written by Nastia Svarevska for Daniel Rey's Islands In The Sky.

Fluctuations
Collaboration with Daniel Rey's installation Strangers by the Pool
In collaboration with Daniel Rey’s Strangers by the Pool installation, Isadora Milan reimagined the swimmers’ podium through an experimental and improvised Vogue performance. Drawing from the power, precision, and fluidity of swimmers, the piece embodied both strength and grace. By integrating the liberating aesthetics of Vogue, a form rooted in queer culture, the performance explores the boundaries between athleticism, ritual, and art, creating a dynamic space where fluidity, power, and freedom converge.

More Beautiful Than Madonna
Music video by Pamplemousse, directed by Sarah Lenormand
Inspired by Fluctuations, the music video for Pamplemousse’s “More Beautiful Than Madonna,” directed by Sarah Lenormand, showcases Isadora Milan’s fluid, powerful movements mirroring the raw, dissonant energy of the noise track. Through this cinematic lens, the performance’s themes of strength, grace, and self-expression are elevated into a dreamlike visual narrative.
