Les Indes Galantes
The Paris Opera • 5m 26s
Hip-hop dancers form a "battle" to the music of the "Danse des sauvages" from Rameau's ballet Les Indes Galantes. The savagery of this dance, made of blows and threats, is a political message: it is Krump, a hip-hop dance style born in the 2000s in the heart of the poor neighborhoods of Los Angeles to denounce police violence.
