The Raving ones is a collaborative performance piece that was part of the project POMPE, a Dionysian canal procession, curated by Sasha Galitzine which took place on Regents canal during The Frieze art fair in October 2016.

In Greek mythology, maenads (/ˈmiːnædz/; Ancient Greek: μαϊνάδες were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. Their name literally translates as "raving ones”. During the orgiastic rites of Dionysus, maenads roamed the mountains and forests performing frenzied, ecstatic dances and were believed to be possessed by the god. While under his influence they were supposed to have unusual strength, including the ability to tear animals or people to pieces.
