From its moniker, (La)Horde, you might expect the artistic collective that has directed the National Ballet of Marseille since 2019 to amount to more than a trio (a filmmaker, a visual artist, and a choreographer, all in their 30s). But “horde” is the perfect word to describe the atavistic, twitchy, and speedy mob that moves with a hive mind under stark white light through the threesome’s proliferation of stage works and accessory music videos. This is performance in a post-IRL, post-human domain, where dance maneuvers go viral without ever setting foot off social media and where the mesmerizing dancers are not only fearless but boneless too. Does the world that (La)Horde has built look fun? Who cares—it looks like the future of the real. The 2020 work Room With a View marks the collective’s New York debut at NYU Skirball. —Apollinaire Scherr
