Dublin Fringe Festival 2023: This is a show for anyone who has ever moshed and for those who haven’t
MOSH is an exploration of mosh culture, the much-maligned, misunderstood collective space. Photograph: Richard Mooney/Luke CarparelliSmoke ascends from the Space Upstairs stage, revealing a drum kit, guitar, two musicians and an amp as a full crowd of punters posit why disposable earplugs have been handed out before the first performance of MOSH, the new show by Rachel Ní Bhraonáin. It soon becomes clear.
Opening with drums, the five cast members explode on to the stage in a flurry of bodies, potent bursts of energy and passionate releases – each detailing, at different times, the role of a mosher; the etiquette when being shoved by thousands of people; and those to avoid when engaging in this very public, yet personal, act. 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.
At many times, the group submerges itself within each other, offering simply an enmesh of tangled bodies in ways that feel safe and consensual. During one particularly striking monologue, the sole female cast member speaks about how moshing gives her a sense of safety not found at bus stops, work or in her own bedroom.
