Slamming

A sweaty ritual. A dance performance on the anarchic and soaked in the adrenaline behavior of a crowd during a punk rock concert. In search of the radical aliveness and the invisible solidarity rules that accompany it.

Three performers on stage commit to one shared agreement: a
ritualistic dance that originates from slamming. They transform mosh pit practices, oscillating between rage and softness, rawness and trust, ache and pleasure, exploring these notions not as dipoles but as correlated elements of a resilient form of dance. The audience ‘sees’ the sweat dripping, the breaths intensifying, and the hearts beating faster while the three performers are wholeheartedly “caught into a mosh”.
