Philippe Béziat, 2020, 108min, France

This is a premiere for 30 dancers of hip-hop, krump, break, voguing. Gallant Indies is a first for the Director Clément Cogitore and for the choreographer Bintou Dembélé, as well as 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?
