The performance of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, in Nervi on its only Italian date with this programme, will see the ballet company perform three choreographies.
Alors on danse… !, by Gil Roman, with music by John Zorn, Citypercussion and Bob Dylan was first performed at the Lausanne Opera House on 11 February 2022. Roman’s work, dedicated to the dancer Patrick Dupond, aims to create a choreographic sequence inspired by classical ballet that celebrates the pure pleasure of dance in a light atmosphere. Segue Liebe und Tod, composta da due pas de deux di Maurice Béjart dei primi anni 2000, su musiche da Des Knaben Wunderhorn di Gustav Mahler. Liebe und Tod riunisce una coreografia realizzata in precedenza, sulle note del Lid Wo die schönen Trompeten blasen, e una seconda coreografia dedicata a Gil Roman sul Lid Der Tamboursg’sell. Il programma si conclude con 7 danses grecques, realizzata da Maurice Béjart nel 1983 su musiche di Mikis Theodorakis e ispirata al folklore greco. Béjart’s research is oriented towards a direct and sincere expression of the Greek popular spirit.
Since its inception in 1987, the Béjart Ballet Lausanne has been a reference point in the world of dance. Since Maurice Béjart’s death in 2007, the company has been maintaining its artistic excellence. Maurice Béjart always wanted to open up the world of ballet to a wider audience. Animated by the same spirit, the BBL dancers perform all over the world. The Béjart Ballet Lausanne is one of the very few companies capable of filling such immense spaces as the NHK Hall in Tokyo, the Kremlin State Palace in Moscow, the Herodes Atticus Odeon in Athens, the Palais des congrès in Paris, the Forest National in Brussels or the Patinoire in Malley-Lausanne.
Since 2007, under its artistic direction, the Ballet Béjart Lausanne has maintained and developed a vast repertoire, at the heart of which remains the work of Maurice Béjart, with emblematic choreographies such as Le Sacre du Printemps, Boléro, The Ninth Symphony or Ballet for Life. Choreographers such as Alonzo King, Tony Fabre, Christophe Garcia, Giorgio Madia, Yuka Oishi or Julio Arozarena have contributed to the creative development of the Béjart Ballet. The Company remains faithful to its vocation: to preserve Maurice Béjart’s work, while remaining a space for creation.
