Naomi Velissariou (born 1984 in Bilzen, Belgium) is a Greek-Belgian theatre maker, actress and performer permanently affiliated with Theater Utrecht since 2018. She studied theatre and film studies at the University of Antwerp and completed her acting training at the Maastricht Theatre Academy in 2012. Her work centres on the fluidity of contemporary identity and female suffering, expressed through physical, music-driven productions such as the trilogy Permanent Destruction and HARDKOOR. She won the Charlotte Köhler Prize in 2017 and the Theo d'Or in 2021, and continued exploring female imagery and ageing with her 2026 solo show Sexodus.
Sexodus, de nieuwe solovoorstelling van Velissariou, ging op 28 mei 2026 in première op het O. Festival in Rotterdam.
Haar voorstelling HARDKOOR werd genomineerd voor de VSCD Mime/Performance Prijs 2025.
HARDKOOR ging in première tijdens het Holland Festival 2024 in Het Sieraad in Amsterdam.
Voor Pain Against Fear, het derde deel van de trilogie Permanent Destruction, ontving ze de Theo d'Or.
Ze won de Regieprijs 2019 voor The SK Concert, het eerste deel van haar trilogie Permanent Destruction.
