Sodoma by Piotr Mateusz Wach is an original reinterpretation of The 120 Days of Sodom by the Marquis de Sade, read through the prism of the author’s own experiences. Wach — a debuting young director emerging from the field of dance theatre and performance — is known for his experiments with corporeality, ritual and immersive form. He treats the body not only as a tool of expression but also as a carrier of social and political meaning. In his work, the body becomes a battlefield between freedom and oppression, desire and violence, individual intimacy and systemic domination.
Piotr Wach’s Sodoma is a contemporary stage ritual in which the order of libertines, the narrative of moral downfall and inhuman violence gain new references to the present day. The performance confronts the audience with the limits of taboo and with questions of dignity and humanity, provoking reflection on what remains hidden and socially unacceptable. Sodoma is not merely a performance about deviation and cruelty — it is also a metaphor for contemporary forms of violence, systemic control and collective trauma.
This is theatre both physical and philosophical – painful, provocative and urgently relevant. A theatre that crosses boundaries to intensify experience. Sodoma is about perversion, desire and manipulation, but also about shame, humiliation and, ultimately, freedom — whose price is enslavement.
