Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent de Gil Roman, Bhakti III, Duo, Dibouk et 7 danses grecques de Maurice Béjart au Palais Garnier à Paris

From January 4 to 7, 2024, the Béjart Ballet Lausanne will perform at the Palais Garnier in Paris, France. The company will present Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent by Gil Roman, along with Bhakti III, Duo, Dibouk and 7 danses grecques by Maurice Béjart.

In the first part, Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent, a title borrowed from the Swiss writer Ludwig Hohl, is entirely choreographed to the music of John Zorn, one of the leading composers of contemporary American music. The density and diversity of his extraordinary work, which began in the mid-1970s, as well as the audacity and artistic freedom he expressed through his craft, never ceased to challenge and fascinate the artistic director of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne. Facing a considerable body of work, Gil Roman immerses himself in the various compositions making up the universe that the brilliant multi-instrumentalist has explored from 1990 to 2017… Step by step, with a movement, a gesture, Gil Roman brings his dancers beyond the walls…

The second part of the show presents Gil Roman and his company on a journey through the multicultural world of Maurice Béjart. Three ballets from Maurice Béjart’s repertoire will be presented: Bhakti III, Duo, Dibouk et 7 danses grecques.
