In the 16 minute movie entitled Novaciéries (LA)HORDE sets up a contemplative situation staging and reinterpreting Jumpstyle, a dance emerged from Mainstream Hardcore, to deliver a mysterious report on the development of a post-internet dance. The film is a global project mixing cinematographic images shot by a movie crew but also performance captations with the cast of the film and homemade videos made by the interpreters themselves shared on youtube and other platforms. The camera follows a singer and dancers wander in an abandoned steel mill. The dancers respond to the lost beat of machinery by executing Hard Jump and Hakken figures while the singer turns a Hardcore anthem "Hardcore to the bone" into a lyrical lament. We are invited to follow the wander of the interpreters until they get together to deliver a show without an audience. All along we waver between the idealized vision of their representation and the reality of its visibility. "Novacieries is a combination of cinema, performance, and home video that transcends dance films and presents a choreographed and metaphysical portrait of the post-industrial world by reinterpreting post-internet dance."

(LA)HORDE is a collective of three artists: Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel. Their body of work is developed through film direction, video installation, performance, stage direction and choreographic creation. (LA)HORDE creates unstable universes and mesmerizing fictions that challenge the viewer into his way of experiencing and apprehending the artwork. Their leitmotiv is to question and swap the codes of different artistic scenes as contemporary art and living art.
