Béjart Ballet Lausanne

Since its inception in 1987, Béjart Ballet Lausanne is a reference in the choreographic world. Since the disappearance Maurice Béjart in 2007, the company is preserving its artistic excellence.

Maurice Béjart always wanted to open the world of the ballet to a larger audience. Animated by the same spirit, the BBL dancers perform all over the world. Béjart Ballet Lausanne is one of the very few companies able to fill vast spaces such as the NHK Hall of Tokyo, the Kremlin State Palace of Moscow, Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, the Palais des congrès de Paris, Forest National in Brussels or the Patinoire of Malley-Lausanne.

Since 2007, with his artistic direction, the Béjart Ballet Lausanne maintains and develops the repertoire of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne. The work of Maurice Béjart is at the heart of this repertoire, with emblematic choreographies, as The Rite of Spring, Boléro, The Ninth Symphony or Ballet for Life. Choreographers like Alonzo King, Tony Fabre, Christophe Garcia, Giorgio Madia, Yuka Oishi or Julio Arozarena also contributed to the creative development of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne.

The Company remains faithful to its vocation: preserving Maurice Béjart’s work, while remaining a space of creation.
