This will be the Australian Premiere of BERSERK — exclusive to Horizon 2025.

BERSERK is a movement-based performance inviting audiences to witness human bodies being pushed to the edge of transformation, shapeshifting and traversing surreal terrains, and embodying the primal and the absurd.

Choreographed by Jag Popham, and brought to life by a dynamic ensemble, BERSERK delves deep into the mysterious forces that shape our shared mythology and somatic landscapes. With visceral movement, a pulsing soundscape, and ritualistic intensity, this is a celebration of the primordial forces that shape and consume us.

This Australian premiere, by KIN, drags performers and audiences through shared threshold experiences, where time warps, thoughts fray, and focus sharpens. As agitation builds, rupture tears through, and the outpouring drowns all in raw, unrelenting release.

BERSERK dives headfirst into trance states and mythopoetic storytelling, standing as a testament to our desire to engage in the mysterious.

BERSERK is presented as part of a double-bill show with Phantom Femme Fatale with DJ sets by Soundbox Studios.
