Alain Damasio Collaborates with (La)Horde on New Dance Piece 'Après moi, le déluge'

French writer Alain Damasio, author of the novel 'La Horde du Contrevent', which inspired the name of the dance collective (La)Horde, has been invited to collaborate as an 'external eye' on their new performance 'Après moi, le déluge', currently on tour. Damasio expressed that he and the collective share a common approach to what art can achieve. The collaboration highlights a cross-disciplinary dialogue between literature and contemporary dance, with Damasio's narrative sensibilities informing the creative process. The show's title, 'Après moi, le déluge', suggests themes of aftermath and catastrophe, resonating with Damasio's speculative fiction. The tour brings the piece to various venues, though specific dates and locations were not detailed in the source. This partnership underscores the collective's interest in integrating literary perspectives into choreographic work, fostering innovative artistic expressions.
