Thania Garcia It’s April 27, one day before the first of Rauw Alejandro’s two sold-out concerts at the Los Angeles Forum. His team is gearing up to bring next-level surround sound to the storied arena – which will see Alejandro singing and dancing for nearly three hours on a 360-degree stage – as they’ve done only twice before on the “Saturno World Tour,” in Miami and New York. Putting on a 360-degree concert is not only complicated and costly, it is enormously physically demanding for the performer, who must project in all directions instead of one. It’s taking a toll: In the hour leading up to showtime, Alejandro, swatched in bandages, hops from an exercise machine to a massage table where a team of physical therapists gets to work on his lower body. In the week that follows, doctor’s orders force him to postpone a show in Palm Springs due to injury – despite his constant efforts to go ahead.
‘The Brigade,’ Canal+ and Studiocanal’s New Bid for a Big Crime Thriller Franchise, World Premieres at MipTV
17.04.2023 - 07:07 / variety.com
John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent A Canneseries and MipTV world premiere screening, Canal+ crime thriller “The Brigade” kicks off with an event that has fuelled the modern-day nightmares of France: the terrorist attacks on Bataclan. Patrick Prigent, who heads up a Paris unit of Brigade de recherche et d’intervention (BRI), an elite police unit, receives a phone call that there is a hostage-taking situation at the nightclub. Arriving on the scene, he prepares to send in paramedics but a new BRI recruit, a guy called Saïd, advises against that. “I was Special Forces, two years in Syria. I think those guys did too. You only learn by watching others. They won’t negotiate. They know they’re going to die tonight,” says Saïd. Patrick takes in what he says.
Cut to seven years later, and Patrick is stepping down, replaced by Said as head of the unit. Leaving 90 people dead, and perpetrated by terrorists living in Europe, the Bataclan attack helped reform security forces and measures in France. Produced by Cheyenne Federation (“A French Case”), sold by Studiocanal and bringing key cast and crew to Cannes for its premiere, “The Brigade,” a Canal+ Creation Originale, weighs in as an ultra contemporary take on BRI’s battle against organised crime and terrorism. That cuts several ways. Said’s immediate task, hinted at in the opening episodes, is to quell the outbreak of a gang war sparked by new kids on the crime block, the El Hassani brothers. The cast is multi-ethnic led by Sofian Khammes (“November,” “The Swarm”) as Said. The BRI’s work has evolved: “I didn’t sign up for this. I like chasing robbers in Paris. But now it’s terrorists, drug traffickers and psychos on the make,” the old school Patrick laments in
