Bintou Dembélé

Bintou Dembélé has worked tirelessly for hip hop culture since 1985, inventing a way of thinking and a dance free of all constraints, at once heritage and celebration. With the creation of Rualité in 2002, she diversified her artistic projects, most notably with Les Indes galantes at the Opéra national de Paris in 2019, performed alongside street dancers. In 2021, she was invited to the Villa Medicis in Rome and the Villa Albertine in Chicago. In 2022, she was awarded the prix Chorégraphie of the SACD.
