(National premiere)
We’ve devised this programme in order to tell a story with others that reflects who we are and to celebrate the many different kinds of writing by choreographers who have helped shape our gaze, who gave us our first emotions and who are still alongside us today. We feel it’s more important than ever to pay homage to them now with this project.
The programme comprises six pieces: two artistic propositions by (LA)HORDE, hyperrealist dance-theatre by Peeping Tom, the contemporary vision of Claude Brumachon and Benjamin Lamarche, the minimalism of Lucinda Childs and the shock of Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud’s writing.
By bringing such diverse works together, our intention is to challenge the notion of archives and heritage. Each of the choreographers explores the way in which pieces are appropriated or re-appropriated, regardless of whether they are in their own repertoire. Why is this repertoire being revived and updated?
Formed in 2013 and heading up the CCN Ballet national de Marseille since 2019, (LA)HORDE is comprised of the artists Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel. Through films and performances they question the political scope of dance and map choreographic forms of popular uprising, whether they are widespread or isolated, from raves to traditional dances by way of jumpstyle. Their exploration of new dynamics in the circulation and representation of dance and the body that have emerged online led them to develop their concept of “post-internet dances”.
