Introduction
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.

Slamming | Xenia Koghilaki
The three of them commit to one shared agreement: a ritualistic dance that originates from slamming. They transform mosh pit practices on stage, oscillating between rage and softness, rawness and trust, ache and pleasure, violence and tenderness, exploring these notions not as dipoles but as interconnected elements within a sui generis dance form. The audience ‘sees’ the sweat dripping, the breaths intensifying, and the hearts beating faster while the three performers are wholeheartedly “caught into a mosh”.
The new choreographic work by Xenia Koghilaki seeks certain emotional nuances in the aggressive crowd, reconstituting a collective ritual that lurks behind an ostensible rage. "Slamming" approaches crowd dances not as something to be deciphered but as a site of experience, exploring the significance of collective movement as a practice of resistance.
In "Slamming" the stage transforms into an ever-mutating concert mosh pit, and the crowd's anarchic movement becomes a dance itself.
