Company

Béjart Ballet Lausanne

Since its founding in 1987, the Béjart Ballet Lausanne has established itself as an international reference in the world of dance. Heir to the innovative spirit of Maurice Béjart, the BBL continues its journey today under the artistic direction of Julien Favreau.

Once an emblematic soloist of Maurice Béjart’s repertoire, Julien Favreau, now artistic director, embodies the continuity of a visionary body of work while infusing it with a sensitive modernity firmly rooted in the present. Through his artistic vision, the company affirms its commitment to preserving the master’s legacy while opening up new choreographic horizons.

Faithful to Maurice Béjart’s wish to make dance accessible to all, the company performs on the world’s greatest stages, captivating ever-growing audiences with the expressive and universal power of its art. Its repertoire—at the heart of which are emblematic works such as The Rite of Spring, Boléro, The Ninth Symphony, and Ballet for Life — emains vibrant and alive.
