Les Indes Galantes is an opera-ballet by Jean-Philippe Rameau, inspired by a dance of the Choctaw tribe leaders in Louisiana, witnessed in Paris in 1723. Clément Cogitore reinterprets a part of this ballet with krump dancers from 1990s Los Angeles, influenced by the Rodney King incident and subsequent protests. In a tense atmosphere, young dancers express physical, social, and political tensions through movement. The dances of indigenous peoples in 1723 Paris and rebellious krump dancers converge in the movements of the performers, echoing Rameau's original libretto on the edge of a volcano.
