MOSH

Rachel Ní Bhraonáin

May 23 + May 24

Book Now

This is a dance, a gig, a theatrical shove into the heart of the pit.

Get ready to dive into the heart-pounding chaos of the mosh pit, where dance and release collide. The adrenaline rush, the raw connection, the pulse of live music – it’s more than a gig. It’s a way of life.

In MOSH, you’ll come face to face with The Mad Bastards, The Pit Protectors, The Karate Choppers, and The Bearded Beer Drinkers – each playing their part in this unfiltered ritual of wild abandon. But beneath the sweat and fury lies something deeper: a community built on music, movement, risk and the momentum of the crowd.

Featuring raucous dance, live music and interviews with real mosh pit devotees, this show uncovers the hidden meaning behind a misunderstood subculture. Is it aggression? Is it connection? What are the rules and why would anyone do this?

Following 5-star reviews and an award-winning run at Dublin Fringe Festival 2023, MOSH is back for a national tour across Ireland in 2025. Don’t miss your chance to experience this show packed with humour, heart and plenty of headbanging.

Group Group Press Quotes

★★★★★ “The five cast members (who are exceptional) explode onto the stage in a flurry of bodies,
potent bursts of energy and passionate releases.” – The Irish Times

★★★★★ “Their depictions, both in words and dance, are moving and, dare I say, romantic, entirely turning the genre on its head for anyone green with mosh immaturity.” – The Irish Times

“There is a lot of humour in the piece which is unexpected, but alongside this is the warm and loving spotlight that shines on a subculture, teasing out the many and varied personal and communal reasons for its existence.” – Reviews Hub
