Gallant Indies

Directed by Philippe Beziat

2021, France, 108 min – Documentary, Dance

In French with English Subtitles

Based on Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera-ballet that was directed by Clément Cogitore for the Opéra National de Paris.

This is a premiere for 30 dancers of hip-hop, krump, break, voguing… A first for the Director Clément Cogitore and for the choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a first for the Paris’ Opera Bastille. By bringing together urban dance and opera singing, they reinvent Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque masterpiece, Les Indes Galantes. From rehearsals to public performances, it is a human adventure and a meeting of political realities that we follow: can a new generation of artists storm the Bastille today?
