Gorgon Syndrome

Gorgon Syndrome is a performative piece about the trauma of sexual violence, centered on four real women’s stories. Inspired by the myth of Medusa—the Gorgon—

 The narrative emphasizes the consequences of violence: its impact on everyday life, the body, and relationships. The performance blends physical theatre, documentary-style narrative, and ritual symbolism. It employs body language, rhythm, visual imagery, and sign language so that every audience member regardless of sensory ability can fully experience the piece.

Created through international collaboration between artists from Poland and Belarus.  “Gorgon Syndrome” is a performative piece about female trauma and silence, inspired by the myth of Medusa. Four women transform the experience of violence into an act of liberation through body, voice, and ritual.
