(LA)HORDE is a collective established in 2013 by artists Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer, and Arthur Harel. Their work challenges and redefines the conventions of various artistic disciplines, with a particular focus on contemporary live and performing arts. Since taking the helm of the Ballet National de Marseille in September 2019, they have created choreographic works, films, video installations, and performances, all centered on the dynamic expression of the body in motion.

Through the interplay and combination of these diverse media, (LA)HORDE explores and develops narratives that engage with radically contemporary themes and questions, pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms.

»(LA)HORDE collaborates with communities of individuals on the margins of the mainstream, and part of their art is also the practice of practical solidarity. They have worked with groups of seventy-year-olds, blind performers, smokers, juveniles… Contrary to any form of hierarchy and cultural appropriation, they work at eye level with the performers.«
