Katma

★★★★ “Surrender to the pulse of a communal, high-octane, joy-fuelled dancefloor” – Time Out

★★★★ “A raw euphoric authenticity that is infectious and culturally rich” – Sydney Morning Herald

Co-created and directed by Azzam “Shazam” Mohamed with the Katma team, Katma is an immersive performance that captures the charged intensity of an underground dancefloor, drawing inspiration from Sudanese and Australian party scenes as well as legendary dance spaces like The Loft in New York.

With no seats and the dancefloor at its centre, Katma unfolds as a living club ritual. Developed from its Western Sydney base at PYT Fairfield, the work reflects the inclusivity and energy of the community it was born in. Seven dancers move through a dynamic fusion of street and club styles, shifting between solo expression and collective rhythm as the room fills with movement and sound. Part performance, part dancefloor, Katma invites audiences to step inside the energy of the club, to witness, move, and feel the pulse of a living culture.
