CROSSOVER, Sydney Festival

The latest banger from France’s hottest choreographers

From The New York Times to Vogue, Le Monde to Variety, French trio (LA)HORDE are one of the most buzzed about art collectives in the world—and they’re heading to Sydney for the first time. Their cinematic large-scale shows and interdisciplinary practice has made waves across music, film, fashion, and contemporary dance.

Sought after by pop stars around the world, and fresh from collaborations with Madonna and Spike Jonze, (LA)HORDE continue to push the boundaries of art. In their brand-new show CROSSOVER, they challenge themselves and five leading choreographers to each braid elements of their existing work into one stunning whole. This daring, vulnerable act unravels the individual to seek the power and spectacle inherent in collective art.

Performed by eight dancers from Ballet national de Marseille, three sets of paired artists reimagine their work in a unique collaboration. Rafaela Sahyoun’s CRUSH meets Fran Diaz’s The Mass Ornament, Armin Hokmin’s Shiraz duets Cecilia Bengolea’s Twerk while Angelin Preljocaj’s Le Parc will meld with (LA)HORDE’s oeuvre.

Ambitious, playful, and full of surprise, CROSSOVER is a transformative remix that celebrates collaboration and showcases the best of contemporary dance.
