Bye bye baby blackbird, Béjart et nous and Boléro at the LAC in Lugano

The Béjart Ballet Lausanne will perform from February 1 to 2 at the LAC in Lugano. The company will present Bye bye baby blackbird by Joost Vrouenraets, Béjart et nous and Boléro by Maurice Béjart.

As the opening of the evening, Bye bye baby blackbird by Dutch choreographer Joost Vrouenraets, invited by the company. Born of deep introspection, his ballet anticipates the process of mourning for a programmed disappearance, the echoes of the physical absence of a loved one. In the succession of tableaux that pulse to the rhythm of the telluric compositions of country music monument Johnny Cash, Bye bye baby blackbird offers itself as an embrace in the light that undulates in the heart of darkness.

For the second part, the company invites you on a dizzying journey through the danced (and musical) repertoire of Maurice Béjart: Béjart et nous. An artistic proposal sensitively crafted by Julien Favreau, an immersion into the eclectic and abundant work of the Master, performed by the dancers of his company today.

The evening concludes with Boléro, a ballet created in 1961 on the captivating score by Maurice Ravel. The central role – the Melody – is alternately entrusted to a dancer or a dancer, while the Rhythm is carried by a group of dancers.
