Age of Content
Shaking up the status quo
The (LA)HORDE collective and the breathtaking Ballet national de Marseille electrify the stage in a wild futurist cavalcade, fusing dance and digital culture. A highlight of the season!
Contains mature themes (violence, sexual content) and strobe effects
The spotlight is on (LA)HORDE, the trio leading the Ballet national de Marseille since 2019 and which has caused a sensation with its engaged post-punk performances. The influences of fashion, immersive worlds and club culture are omnipresent. Exploring the place of humans in an era of online content and ceaseless self-promotion, (LA)HORDE propels a troupe of 18 phenomenally intense performers onstage. In a deconstructed space-time, the borders between real and virtual bodies become porous. Evoking fight scenes from action movies, stunts, musicals, open-world video games, postmodern dance and choreographic TikTok challenges, Age of Content culminates in a dazzling finale. A surge of raw energy that punches right in the gut.

Company
Ballet National de Marseille
In 1972, Gaston Defferre invited choreographer Roland Petit to establish his company in Marseille—a company that was already renowned in France and worldwide—to revitalize the city's municipal opera. Roland Petit accepted and founded the Ballet de Marseille, anchoring it in the choreographic modernity of the 1970s and 1980s.
