Returning to the Romaeuropa Festival, (LA)HORDE—the French collective leading the Ballet National de Marseille—reasserts dance within the imagination of Generation Z through an audacious vocabulary suspended between pop culture and research. In this new creation, conceived against the flow of time, dance seeks to return to a moment preceding catastrophe, before erosion, confronting the monstrous figures inhabiting our collective narratives, as well as the silences and gestures of surrender.
Following Room with a View and Age of Content (from which Romaeuropa presented excerpts last year with Chronicles ), this new work takes shape as a collective introspection, a descent beneath the surface of everyday gestures and structures of power, interrogating our relationship with inheritance and transformation.
