A genuine dreamer, chocolate lover, sparkling charleston dancer.
Accidentally born in Milan (Italy) the 6th of November 1986, her heart and soul are lost between the lavishness of the late 19th century and the crazy flappery elegance of the early 20′s. Fancy, hypnotic, eccentric and bizarre. Rare.
She went to the University, she started to collect vintage foulards and antique jewelry, she decided to live her life as her greatest show. That’s when she brought burlesque to Italy: co-creator and choreographer of the first Italian Burlesque troupe Voodoo Deluxe back in 2007, she now keeps performing and shaking her ass independently by her own ever since.
Cleo Viper creates her amazing routines by digging deep in her most curious and strange fantasies: flying in the dark as a crow, sailing an imaginary ocean, tap dancing as in an old silent movie, jumping into a box to be cut in a half by her tattooed magician..as well as other dreams yet to be seen.
A true chameleon and a genuine beauty, she’s always ready to transform, still keeping her unique style and authentic vintage look.
From the theatre , where she grew up miming, acting and performing since the age of 7, she got the capability to let her body and eyes speak for herself. Without saying a word, she draws baroque worlds in the air, bringing the astonished public into a faraway dimension of mistery and magic.
From the circus (it was love at fist sight!) she took her passion for coloured tents, exotic arts, contorsionism, freak shows. Standing still on a giant ball, she can now look at the world from another point of view, ready to capture the essence of a brand new way of seeing life.
From the street, half way between the foggy suburbs of Milan and the sunny sidewalks of New Orleans, she stole her never-give-up attitude and a real respect for who she is and where she comes from.
…For all the rest, she simply improvises.

After years of studying thinking and planning, she’s finally ready to take over the world, bringing her peculiar art all around: call it burlesque, call it cabaret, call it vaudeville…call it however you want. She calls it “Cleo Viper Burlesque Extravaganza“…or “Wondershow” when she performs with her beloved magician Christopher Wonder.
