It’s a first for 30 hip-hop, krump, break and voguing dancers… A first for director Clément Cogitore and choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a first for the Paris Opera. By bringing together urban dance and opera singing, they are reinventing Jean-Philippe Rameau’s baroque masterpiece, “Les Indes Galantes”.
From rehearsals to public performances, we follow a human adventure and a politically-charged encounter: can a new generation of artists take over the Bastille?

Short film: “L’homme orchestre” by Georges Meliès
followed by the documentary: “Nous, l’orchestre” by Philippe Beziat (2026), 1h30
How do you play together without feeling like you’re disappearing into the crowd? How do you live together for so long without the group exploding? What role does the conductor really play? For the first time, cameras and microphones sneak up on the 120 musicians of the Orchestre de Paris, under the baton of their young prodigy conductor, Klaus Mäkelä. An immersive film at the heart of the music being made; as close as possible to the experience of the musicians, their emotions and their beauty.
Price: one screening, normal rate; 2 screenings: members €9, non-members €11
