Bio

Olli goes to Bollywood, the third epic of the adventure "Olli & the Bollywood Orchestra", combines romantic themes to the most popular songs of Indian cinema and subtle and percussive original compositions sang in Hindi. A banghra spirit - a very rythmic and uplifting music from the region of Penjab, in northern India - is also embedded in the project.

This show thus offers a particular Hindi pop repertoire coloured with hip hop, dub and rock, over remixed images from the Massala cinema. Themes, rhythms everything is set to bring to the audience the authentic emotions of a movie from Bollywood, with the story of a Breton singer who fells in love with a movie star and travels in India to look for her.

Olli shares the stage with Indian and French musicians for an original live film-concert. Bollywood scenes and clips were shot by filmmaker Jesse Lucas in January 2013, in collaboration with an Indian production, a choreographer, a troupe of dancers and actors from Madras.

Behind the kitsch, colors and enthusiasm of this crazy story (re)played on stage, there are valuable keys to understanding Indian people. You never travelled to India so easily !
