Ghosts
Synopsis
Ghosts is a new short film by (LA)HORDE with the Ballet national de Marseille soundtracked by Rone and scripted Spike Jonze, filmed in the Palais Longchamp in Marseille. When the Fine Arts Museum closes, figures take over the deserted place, embrace and tear each other, as if to recover their body, until their encounter with the night guard.

About
Ballet National de Marseille (la)horde
As head of the CCN Ballet national de Marseille since 2019, (LA)HORDE brings together since 2013 the artists Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel. Through films and performances, and choreographic pieces, they question the political scope of dance and map the choreographic forms of popular uprising, whether massive or isolated, from raves to traditional dances to jumpstyle. Their exploration of the new dynamics of circulation and representation of dance and the body that develop online has led them to form the concept of "post-internet dances. With the Ballet national de Marseille, now composed of twenty-five dancers of sixteen nationalities, they create with the artist Rone Room With A View in 2020 and invite in 2021 four choreographers for a mixed program: Lucinda Childs, Tânia Carvalho, Lasseindra Ninja and Oona Doherty. By diversifying the media, (LA)HORDE questions the almost infinite serendipity offered by this new territory and proposes a diversity of views on the multiple narratives and practices of the body carried by all the communities of dancers with whom they work heterarchically.
