(LA)HORDE is responsible for a system reset in contemporary dance: The trio mixes pop with traditional forms, digital and analog as well as visual art, performance and dance – and shapes the present with choreographies for world concert tours (currently with Madonna), fashion shows, solo exhibitions and since 2019 as directors of the Ballet national de Marseille. After Summer Festival has presented several spectacular works and exhibitions by (LA)HORDE, including the world premiere about protest and Georgian folk dance MARRY ME IN BASSIANI (2019), the trio returns to Hamburg with a world premiere. It choreographically explores the physical and emotional relationship to the abundance of virtual images. Action movies, Tik-Tok choreographies and video games serve (LA)HORDE as inspiration, among others. Within an impressive stage design, they weave the art of stunts and the exaggerated sensation of wrestling into a virtuosic choreography for 16 dancers.
