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