A museum's statues wake up and party harder than you ever will.
After the music video Room With A View, (LA)HORDE continues its exploration of forms of uprising and revolt through dance and directs a new short film with the Ballet national de Marseille, in collaboration with the Californian production company MJZ. Based on a story by Spike Jonze and music by Rone, Ghosts immerses us in the Museum of Fine Arts of the Palais Longchamp, in Marseille. At the closing of the doors, figures occupy the deserted places. They walk through the different rooms, hug and tear, as if to regain their bodies, until they meet the night watchman who will leave the museum at daybreak, possessed.
