“To orchestrate a performance that creates shortcuts between Rameau’s opera-ballet and the gestures, postures and street dances. How can this music set in motion the ghosts of another era, shaped by other stories? Seeking to connect the incantatory quality of Rameau’s music with the cathartic power of these dances. I wish to start with these movements, which, each in their own way, tell the story of a minority, a community, and sketch out an entry into the world through gesture, in order to gradually disrupt them and bring them into contact with Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n\u2019s adaptation of Baroque music.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Indes Galantes \u2013 De la voix des \u00e2mes<\/em> is an artistic experience that blends Jean-Philippe Rameau\u2019s Baroque opera with the pure energy of hip-hop and krump, directed and choreographed by Bintou Demb\u00e9l\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born out of the encounter between Bintou Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n during the production of Les Indes Galantes at the Op\u00e9ra Bastille in 2019, and inspired by the conductor\u2019s innovative musical vision, this choreographed concert transcends the boundaries between musical genres and forms of physical expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By exploring the roots of Western music through contemporary popular cultures, this production reveals the universal pulse that unites music and dance. Rameau\u2019s music is carried by Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n\u2019s two ensembles, Cappella Mediterranea and the Ch\u0153ur de chambre de Namur, alongside a cast of leading soloists, whilst the hip-hop and krump dancers from the Rualit\u00e9 structure passionately embody the complex emotions and irregular rhythms of the human soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Indes Galantes \u2013 De la voix des \u00e2mes<\/em> invites the audience to immerse themselves in a whirlwind of emotions, movements and sounds, for an unforgettable and deeply moving artistic experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
