Gorgone,
cast in rope and plaster

A Live 

Shibari & Sculptural Performance Night

in III Acts

—

24 January 2026 · Doors open 7 pm · Private Penthouse · Berlin-Mitte

Shibari Studio Berlin invites you into a curated arc of experiences — from suspension to sculpture, from sound to stillness. 

An intimate performance night at the intersection of Shibari, sculpture, and live art creation.

ACT I — The Prologue | Suspension in the Dome |

You will witness Gorgone, one of the most recognized riggers in contemporary Shibari, presenting a live suspension performance with model Karbon in the dome cupola:

A precise,
sculptural composition
shaped by gravity,
tension,
and breath.

ACT II — The Main Performance
| Plaster & Rope: Life Creation |

Dan Carabas × Gorgone — the live creation of a plaster-and-rope sculpture. In this act, Dan Carabas turns a fleeting body-rope sculpture into a lasting plaster cast — translating the transient moment of its existence into a figure that remains in space.

Dan Carabas casts directly from Gorgone’s nude body.

You watch the work come into being
— step by step —
as rope becomes structure,
plaster becomes imprint,
and presence turns into
permanent form.

ACT III — The Afterglow
| Q&A + Open Space |

Afterwards, the space opens for

• Q&A with the artists
• Open Rope Jam
• Sauna & Relaxation — a soft landing to meet, exchange, and unwind.

A one-night constellation — performances, live sound, and a sculpture created once, in real time.

Secure your ticket — limited capacity.

About Gorgone

Gorgone is a French rope artist, performer, and educator widely regarded as one of the foundational voices of the European Shibari scene. Her work is known for a contemporary, research-driven approach that treats suspension as choreography and the body-in-rope as a sculptural language — deliberately moving beyond cliché sexual framing toward performance, aesthetics, and embodied experience. In 2016, she initiated Study on Falling, an ongoing aesthetic and philosophical performance research, later presented on major stages, including an opening act at Paris’ Opera Garnier.

She also co-founded the online education platform Shibari Study and has toured internationally for years as a performer and teacher.
