Room with a view brings together French DJ Rone and collective (LA) HORDE, who, in September 2019, assumed the artistic direction of the Ballet national de Marseille.
Over the years Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel, the trio behind (LA) HORDE, have always questioned the spectrum of political meanings of dance, searching online for new choreographies that expressed popular uprisings. Room with a view follows this line of research to immediately evoke, on stage, a contested message anchored in a rave environment.
" We imagined a marble quarry that evoked the most
iconic stone in the history of art, a place of deadly extraction whose lines
and whiteness also reminded the architecture of the BNM building, where the
piece was born. This quarry is a place of poetry and chaos, where we could
question the emancipatory possibilities of the body in a context of widespread
collapse: the collapse of living beings and biodiversity, but also the positive
collapse of oppressive systems such as patriarchy. The biggest challenge in
this whole process was to avoid moralistic speeches. We didn’t want to do a
piece on ecology, but to talk about our relationship with the community and the
body in the especially troubled political context we live in. We don't believe
in the passivity of the audience and we want our shows to be empowerment
moments as well".
