About this event
As we face various difficulties due to the economic situation of the country, Bonjour Cinéma is renewing itself ! We now invite you to watch our films in a new cinema: the Dematagoda Regal Cinema, located at 44 Dr Danister De Silva Mawatha, in Colombo 9.
✨ We welcome you at the Regal Cinemas - Dematagoda for the screening of Indes Galantes by Philippe Béziat, a documentary on a first at the Paris Opera: the famous piece by Jean-Philippe Rameau, staged by Clément Cogitore with 30 dancers of hip-hop, krump, beark or voguing.
********* INDES GALANTES (2020,1h48) *********
It's a first for 30 dancers of hip-hop, krump, break, voguing... A first for the director Clément Cogitore and for the choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a first for the Paris Opera. By bringing together urban dance and opera singing, they reinvent together Jean-Philippe Rameau's baroque masterpiece, Les Indes Galantes. From rehearsals to public performances, we follow a human adventure and an encounter with political stakes: can a new generation of artists take over the Bastille today?
The screening is free and open to all. The event will take place physically, strictly adhering to all health guidelines against COVID-19. The film is in French with subtitles in English.
Bonjour cinema is organized with the support of Ceylon Theatres, Institut Français, ARTRA Magazine and Alliance Française de Kotte in Colombo.
