You are invited to tune into the "Black Baroque" focus series organized by Pr. Noémie Ndiaye at the University of Chicago. Of particular interest to this constituency is the first installment, the interview on 04/14 of Bintou Dembélé, who created the choreography of a landmark production of Rameau’s opera-ballet Les Indes Galantes (1735)—a ballet saturated with unbridled French Baroque colonial fantasies—and shook the Opéra Bastille in 2019. As a speaker featured on the “Black Baroque” focus series, Dembélé will comment on the significance of the Bastille production of Les Indes Galantes as well as her work dismantling oppressive structures as a Queer Black artist in the world of opera.
