Les Indes galantes de Clément Cogitore

Program presented as part of the Carte blanche à l’Opéra de Paris.

Clément Cogitore adapts a short part of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s ballet Les Indes galantes, with the help of a group of Krump dancers and three choreographers: Bintou Dembele, Igor Caruge and Brahim Rachiki. Krump is a dance born in the ghettos of Los Angeles in the 90s. It was born as a result of the riots and brutal police repression that followed the beating of Rodney King.
