In 2024, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is presenting Room With A View by (LA)HORDE and Rone with Ballet national de Marseille as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in Japan.

Created with the artist Rone in 2020 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France, Room With A View is (LA)HORDE’s first choreographic piece with the Ballet National de Marseille, composed of 23 dancers of 12 nationalities. In a marble quarry, various machines are in action, cutting and polishing the rock. In this otherworldly place and behind the engines, Rone carves sweeping electronic and emotional landscapes he offers to a group of dancers. While sculptors work with marble to “free the human form inside the block” (Michelangelo), the performers dance to escape the stones’ immobility. They rise up to scrutinize the infinitely human contours of impending disaster and envisage its beauty.

(LA)HORDE continues to explore forms of protest and rebellion through dance. Room With A View is a blank page, a space devised as a plain white cube in which sounds, bodies and images are inscribed, inspiring reflection on the changing role of humanity. For Rone, it generated the birth of his fifth studio album Room With A View,a singular performance in which the sound of his machines resonates, inviting us to break free and trace vanishing lines towards songs that exist beyond mankind itself.
