Puzzling and fascinating (…) but also straightforwardly entertaining. Contemporary dance of this scale and theatricality is vanishingly rare, and the combination of commercial appeal and experimental ambition admirable.

Website (LA)HORDE

Following the world premiere of AGE OF CONTENT at the 2023 Summer Festival, the choreographic trio (LA)HORDE is set to deliver another stunning stage production in collaboration with the Ballet national de Marseille. APRÈS MOI, LE DÉLUGE (After Me, the Flood) explores a world on the brink of collapse, where bodies unite in resistance and use the power of art to envision the unimaginable: an aftermath, an alternative, a better world. As always with (LA)HORDE, this resurrection from the apocalypse draws on references from pop culture and dance history — ranging from ballet and postmodern dance to musicals and TikTok dances — reflecting (LA)HORDE’s expansive artistic approach. This includes, in addition to directing the Ballet national de Marseille since 2019, museum exhibitions, fashion shows, world tours for pop stars (currently for Rosalía), and stage productions with street dance ensembles. APRÈS MOI, LE DÉLUGE, which will tour Europe following its German premiere in Hamburg, is (LA)HORDE’s sixth work at the Summer Festival, featuring their largest stage set to date: a cathartic piece for twelve dancers that shakes the very foundations of the world so that joy may emerge.
