Fourteen performers in light green tracksuits with their hoods up are draped across a car.

A dopamine hit of carnal energy in the high-tech era.


Pulsating with sexuality, Age of Content turns its gaze on the internet era. Blurring the lines between virtual bodies and reality, the dancers draw their inspiration from the surreal brilliance of Fosse, fused with the TikTok generation.

18 dancers from Ballet national de Marseille move through a video game: past Instagram filters, viral dances, and action movie stunts. Trapped in an alternative metaverse, somewhere between an aircraft hangar and a club setting, the dancers come face to face with their avatars.

Twerking, hip-centric jazz, vogueing, and postmodern dance: LA(HORDE) builds to an insatiable climax with you as the voyeur. Erupting into a fight scene worthy of the best action films, (LA)HORDE explores the entanglement of our post-internet lives.
