Quatuor Zaïde | Luka Austin | Hendrickx Ntela @ Paris Sur Mesure 2023

About This Movie

Quatuor Zaïde is quite the intriguing blend, really. You've got the Zaïde quartet, known for their classical prowess, collaborating with beatmaker Luka Austin, which is an interesting juxtaposition. Their performance at Royaumont Abbey is set against this gorgeous backdrop of Cistercian architecture, lending a unique atmosphere to the whole piece. It’s fascinating how they weave romantic classical music with the raw energy of krump dance. The pacing flows like an ebb and tide, sometimes reflective, sometimes frenetic, mirroring the dance moves of Hendrickx Ntela. The practical effects are minimal, but you really feel the space and the connection between the performers. It’s not just a performance; it’s an exploration of music and movement that’s quite distinctive in its execution.

Unique collaboration between classical and urban dance.Shot in the atmospheric setting of Royaumont Abbey.Interesting take on blending genres and styles.
