The B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne finally gets back on stage<\/h2>\n

After seven months without any touring, the B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne finally gets back on stage. The Company is now performing Basso Continuum<\/em>, Gil Roman’s new creation and 7 danses grecques\u00a0<\/em>by Maurice B\u00e9jart at the Op\u00e9ra de Lausanne.<\/h4>\n

The B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne reunited with its audience last Friday after months of waiting. The Company launched its season at the Op\u00e9ra de Lausanne by premiering Gil Roman’s Basso Continuum<\/em><\/a> and Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/a>‘s 7 danses grecques<\/em> <\/a>before a captivated audience. With Basso Continuum<\/em>, Gil Roman explores the oniric dimension of black luminosity, like a poetry of contrast, using Richard Dubugnon<\/a>‘s music to guide the choreography. The spectators were able to enjoy the Lausanne native perform his songs on the double bass live on stage, surrounded by the BBL dancers.<\/p>\n

In the second part of the show, the Company presented 7 danses grecques<\/em> for the first time at the Op\u00e9ra de Lausanne<\/a>. The composer Mikis Theodorakis had offered his scores to Maurice B\u00e9jart for this piece. “According to the Greeks, this is a ballet where Greece is very much in the spotlight, despite borrowing very little from its folklore”, explains the creator of the BBL.<\/p>\n
