AMARA

AMARA is a musical and visual project by DESIRA, a non-binary artist and performer based in Milan.

Through sound, body, and image, DESIRA explores the intersections between identity, desire, and destruction, crafting a language that moves between experimental electronics and avant-pop.

AMARA – Music

The project unfolds in five chapters, each composed of a song and a film, forming a single narrative.

Each track — from Binary and Heaven to Sadness Is My Lover, followed by Lividi and Murder Me — embodies a different emotional and political state of DESIRA’s character: coercion, the pursuit of purity, surrender, desire, and finally death as liberation.

Musically, AMARA blends electronic textures, hypnotic rhythms, and intimate melodies, creating sonic spaces where vulnerability becomes resistance.

AMARA – Film

At the same time, AMARA is also a short film of the same name, awarded an Honorable Mention at the Video Art & Experimental Film Festival (VAEFF, New York).

The film merges performance, symbolism, and radical visual language, translating the themes of the EP into a cinematic experience that is both sensory and unsettling.

Through an aesthetic oscillating between the sacred and the corporeal, it captures the tension of a non-binary body reinventing itself through pain and defiance.

AMARA is both a sonic and visual ritual — a descent into fragility, an act of liberation.
