Les Indes galantes

Clément Cogitore, through this performance filmed on the set of the Opéra Bastille, creates a battle between urban culture and the music of Rameau. Young dancers started to embody the violent tensions of the physical, social and political body. Both the tribal dance performed in Paris in 1723, and the rebelious Krump dancers of the 1990s shape a reenactment of Rameau’s original libretto, staging young people dancing on the verge of a volcano.
