Gallant Indies
A fascinating immersion into the heart of a powerful project.
-- Les Fiches du Cinéma
Gallant Indies
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?
Fascinating! – Ouest France
The film serves as an invaluable tool for grasping the political scope of the project. – Le Monde
Philippe Béziat’s documentary recreates the glorious energy of “Parisian youth storming the Bastille. – Le Figaro
