Gorgons are made up of two waders and a musician dressed up
and masked. This image comes from the Venice carnival and
Greek mythology.

The gorgons, mysterious and fascinating creatures, lead you into their magical dances some flow and majestic, some rhythmic and wild, suddenly setting like statues and then dashing throw the crowd in a festive, colourful whirlwind. Their costumes are made up of a cape, which when spread out, looks like bat wings. Its expanse is emphasized by the presence of concealed poles which gives it surprising movements.

Gorgons are perfectly suitable for widespread outside events, (festivals, parades, carnivals,…) but equally for more intimate gatherings and/or inside where they will surprise you by their nearness and their capacity to blend in with the decor.
In addition, different types of musical instrument can be chosen,
depending on the event and the sought-after effect.

The music created by Fabian Beghin (Jugalbandi, Turlu tursu…) inspired by rhythm and different traditional themes; gnawa, Indian, Japanese, African… Fabian juggles between big drums, cymbals, quintet agogo, steel drum and bansuri..
