In the organizer's words:
In May 2025, the dance biennial DANCE will take place again in Munich! For this special occasion, the Cinéclub of the Institut français Munich is showing Indes galantes, a documentary film that follows the preparation and presentation of the decolonial version of Jean-Philippe Rameau's baroque opera Les Indes Galantes (1735), inspired by hip-hop and street culture and created by contemporary artist Clément Cogitore with choreographer Bintou Dembélé in 2017.
This radically new interpretation of the 18th century French opera and dance masterpiece, in which urban dance and lyrical song enter into dialog with each other, brings together 30 hip-hop, krump, break and voguing dancers, which was also a first for the Paris Opera. From the rehearsals to the public performances, we follow both a human adventure and the political challenge of whether a new generation of artists can conquer a place like the Opéra Bastille?
