The Béjart Ballet Lausanne is back in your homes

The BBL was acclaimed by the 100,000 people who were able to watch four films for free on its website between March 26 and April 19. Deprived of any live shows until the end of its season due to the current situation, the company would like to support its community by releasing a new selection of ballet to (re)discover on the homepage of bejart.ch.

 

From Thursday April 30 to Sunday May 3, Swan Song by Giorgio Madia and Éclats by Julio Arozarena will be available for free online viewing.

Gil Roman gives ‘carte blanche’ to Giorgio Madia, Italian choreographer and former dancer of the BBL, to create Swan Songfor the company.

Inspired by excerpts of Maurice Béjart‘s interviews, Madia analyses the master’s influence on his own work, reflecting on the archaic meaning of dance, its impulse, its vital energy and the connection to music. Giorgio Madia filters some of the most important artistic legacy that the master has left him, and conceives a parallel with himself and his former colleague Gil Roman for whom the principal part of this ballet is created bespoke, because he impersonates “the connection between the past, present and future of Maurice’s heritage”.

…Music resonates in our ears like the sparkles of a diamond. The body, is then caught in a dance flush. – Julio Arozarena
