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 d'Héloïsa.
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 d'Héloïsa 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 d'Héloïsa'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.
