Films from Ballet national de Marseille x (LA)HORDE
(LA)HORDE
FOG 2024 presents some of the works created by the collective that turns its dance into a means of political expression. The selected films, disruptive pieces with a powerful visual impact, are: Ghosts, where graceful figures take over a deserted Musée des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, Room with a view, clip from the titular track by Rone that pushes the limits of bodies to offer new ways of moving, Cultes, a hallucinated trip in the heart of a community united by their love of music, The master’s tools, examining the relationship between humans and industry, Novaciéries, reinterpreting jumpstyle to explore the mysterious development of a post-internet dance, and Bondy, a choreographic portrait of Bondy’s residents.
Since 2013, (LA)HORDE brings together Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel. This collective of choreographers and visual artists, who took on the direction of the Ballet national de Marseille in 2019 and have worked with Sam Smith and Madonna to name a few, gave rise to several multidisciplinary and cross-community creations: through films and performances (Novaciéries, 2015; The Master's Tools, 2017; Cultes, 2019; Ghosts, 2021), and choreographic pieces (Night Owl, 2016; To Da Bone, 2017; Marry Me in Bassiani, 2019; Room With A View, 2020; Age of Content, 2023), the group interrogates the political component of dance and maps diverse choreographic forms of popular uprising, transitioning from raves to traditional dances.
