Béjart Ballet Lausanne at Theater 11 Zurich

From 8 to 11 April 2027, Béjart Ballet Lausanne will perform at Theater 11 Zurich for four performances as part of its anniversary seasons celebrating the 100th anniversary of Maurice Béjart’s birth and the 40th anniversary of the Company.

The evening will open with OSKAR, a creation by Riva&Repele. Beneath the glow of a streetlamp, in a space suspended between reality and illusion, a clown-like figure alternates between moments of light-hearted amusement and deep introspection. A portrait of a solitary soul confronting his own limitations, OSKAR explores desire and vulnerability, downfall and rebirth, and poses, behind the performer’s smile, the most difficult question of all: how well do we truly know ourselves?

The programme will continue with Mozart Tangos, choreographed by Maurice Béjart to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Argentine tangos. Through a masterful sleight of hand, Béjart brings together two distinct works: M pour B, created for King Baudouin’s birthday in 1990, and 7 Tangos, an excerpt from Notre Faust (1975). The refined elegance of Mozart’s music and pointe work engages in dialogue with the sensual intensity of Argentine tango, creating a contrast that is as unexpected as it is captivating.
