(LA)HORDE, the Paris-based trio of choreographers Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel, have been shaking up the dance scene since they took the reins at Ballet National de Marseille in 2019.

Their work blends club culture, digital aesthetics and political edge. Think rave energy meets contemporary ballet. Under their direction, themes of identity, power and the post-internet body are explored, and the Ballet National de Marseille becomes a playground for the unexpected: where pointe shoes meet jump-style, and choreography meets screen.
