Busy day at chemin du Presbyt\u00e8re 12 in Lausanne. While the B\u00e9jart Ballet’s technicians were organizing the truck transportation of 213 parcels of material for the show (21 tons!), Henri Davila, costume designer, and Le\u00efla Ch\u00e9telat, dresser, were adding the final touches to 200 costumes that had to be hung in the flight cases. No time to lose: everything must be ready for the company’s premiere at the Cirque Royal<\/a> in Brussels on Thursday, March 17…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne in Brussels… is like a return to their roots, where Maurice B\u00e9jart wrote the first pages of his story as the director of the Ballet du XX\u00e8me Si\u00e8cle at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Royal de La Monnaie, from 1960 until its closure and his departure for the capital of Vaud in 1987 to create the BBL. It would be an understatement to say that the company and its artistic director Gil Roman<\/a> are eagerly awaited in the Belgian capital: more than 5,800 spectators have already bought their tickets. The five scheduled performances are sold out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 34 dancers are in top form and have been rehearsing the three ballets they will perform in Brussels right up until the day before they leave: Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent<\/em><\/a>, by Gil Roman (a Belgian premiere), 7 danses grecques<\/em><\/a> and Bol\u00e9ro<\/em><\/a> by Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/a>. The promise of wonderful evenings…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
