In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Ballet national de Marseille - direction (LA)HORDE in the creation of a performance from Age of Content, the latest piece by the collective presented at the Louvre to close the exhibition Figures of the fool. From the Middle Ages to the Romantics.
Founded by Roland Petit in 1972 and granted Centre Chorégraphique National status in 1984, the Ballet National de Marseille is made up of 22 dancers hailing from 16 different countries. Collectif (LA)HORDE – Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel – has been at the head of the BNM since 2019. Through films and live performances (Novaciéries, 2015; The Master’s Tool, 2017; Cultes, 2019), as well as choreographic creations (To Da Bone, 2017; Marry Me in Bassiani, 2019; Room With A View, 2020), (LA)HORDE explores the political impact of dance and maps out the choreographic contours of popular uprisings, whether mass movements or isolated campaigns, spanning the dance spectrum from raves to folkloric dances, not to mention jumpstyle.
