A choreographer and a visual artist bring together urban dance and opera to reinvent Jean-Philippe Rameau's baroque masterpiece, Les Indes Galantes.


Choreographer Bintou Dembélé and artist Clément Cogitore bring urban dance and opera together to reinvent Jean-Philippe Rameau's baroque masterpiece Les Indes Galantes.


This is a premiere for 30 dancers from the worlds of hip-hop, krump, breakdancing, and voguing. A premiere for director Clément Cogitore and choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a premiere for the Paris Opera Bastille. From rehearsals to public performance, we follow a human adventure and a clash of political realities: can a new generation of artists storm the Bastille today?


The documentary GALLANT INDIES by Philippe Béziat accompanies this creative process. The production premiered at the Opéra Bastille in 2019 and received widespread acclaim for its innovative combination of tradition and contemporary art. The film has been presented at several international film festivals, including Doclisboa and Sheffield Doc/Fest. GALLANT INDIES has also been nominated for the 2022 César Award in the Best Documentary category.
