Isadora d'Héloisa - EntreCuerpos
Solo dance performance by Isadora d'Héloïsa, with live original flamenco score
EntreCuerpos is a solo dance performance directed and performed by Isadora d'Héloïsa. An encounter between Vogue and Flamenco expressions, 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, and a photographic and couture gaze, inherited from ballroom culture, EntreCuerpos reimagines flamenco poetry as a living extension of being, a vessel of audacity, grace, sensuality, playfulness and fierce power.
This dialogue is shaped by an original composition by Bryan Reyes (guitar), Ago Hernández (percussion), and Carlos de Luisa (cante).
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.

'A piece alternating between sheer fabulousness and inner conflict.' The Guardian
'Isadora D'Héloïsa weaves together colour, music, Vogue, and Flamenco to depict the plight of the female body through potent symbolism. She imbues the costumes with layered meaning—a shift from a black tailcoat and golden bullfighter top to red pants—mirroring the female form’s journey: from an object of the desiring gaze to a vessel of abundant life force. The live soundscape, created by guitar, percussion, and cante, is rooted in traditional beauty, thrumming with an organic texture. How could one yank the female body out of the clutches of the "gaze" and return it to its owner? The answer may well depend on the practice of every single woman.' Yan Zhenzhen
