Synopsis
This film captures the concrete manifestation of worship that is translated into ritualized practices and performances, a mass jubilation and a consumerist mass.
It brings up questions: can we still live a spiritual experience in these new consumerist sanctuaries? Do spectators succeed in creating their own subversive experience as so many individuals constituting a mass?
These questions animated (LA)HORDE throughout the filming; and as they scanned the crowd with their cameras, they captured the gathering as a form of grace. And unexpected suspended moments oscillated the subject between disenchanted paganism and animal spirituality, between vice and grace, jubilation and anxiety, ecstasy and descent, disenchantment and light.
The party body, its excitement and celebration are they the ultimate bulwark for mass consumption? Does this state succeed in transcending the uncritical space in which it develops?
