Twelve young dancers stand in a dark stage space. They are dressed in different streetwear-style costumes. Three sit on the shoulders of three others. The group stands slightly on their knees with their hands outstretched frontally.

HOMEPAGE Ballet national de Marseille

LA(HORDE) on Instagram

(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.

Two well-trained people in front of a deep black background in an acrobatic pose. One person holds the other up with his hands on his hips. The upper person has his legs bent and is leaning on the shoulders of the lower person.

Four people on a dirty dance floor. Two lie parallel to each other on their backs with their bottoms slightly raised, the other two lean close over the recliners, face to face, with their legs swinging up backwards.

Two people in front of a metal staircase in a dark stage space. One holds the other on his shoulder, she stretches out her arms and legs and he holds his thumb in her open mouth.

Two people in a dark stage space. One holds the other upside down in front of him, she stretches her legs up next to his head. He presses two fingers of each hand into her mouth and seems only to support her with them.

Ten people in different, artistic costumes reminiscent of streetwear stand in a row. The person in front on the right edge of the picture is sharp, the people further back become increasingly blurred. They all stoically look ahead.

Eight dancers in jeans and red T-shirts are in dynamic movements close together in a dark stage space. In front of them stands a dancer with white clothes and his back to the camera. He raises his arms powerfully to the side.
