La Route de la soie<\/em> premiered Last Night: B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne Brings a Major Maurice B\u00e9jart Work Back to Life at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Beaulieu.<\/h3>\n

Presented at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Beaulieu from 11 to 14 June 2026, La Route de la soie<\/em>\u00a0returns to the stage twenty-five years after its last performance. This landmark work by Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/a> was warmly received by a large and enthusiastic audience attending this new series of performances.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspired by the journeys of great travellers such as Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta, La Route de la soie<\/em> traces a vast path across civilizations, from Venice to China via Turkey, Iran, India and Mongolia. Throughout the epic journey of the Traveller, portrayed by Antoine Le Moal, a succession of scenes unfolds, bringing together historical, spiritual and symbolic figures in a work of remarkable choreographic and visual richness. Enhanced by Mari Ohashi\u2019s portrayal of Silk, this poetic journey weaves a delicate thread between cultures, eras and imaginations.<\/p>\n

From the very first moments, the audience at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Beaulieu was drawn into this monumental work, warmly applauding the performers at the end of the performance.<\/p>\n

Under the artistic direction of Julien Favreau<\/a>, this revival forms part of an ongoing commitment to preserving and transmitting Maurice B\u00e9jart\u2019<\/a>s repertoire. The reconstruction of the work required extensive artistic preparation, enriched by the memory and experience of former dancers who took part in the original creation and who are now members of the artistic team.<\/p>\n

The strength of the ensemble scenes, the commitment of the performers, the richness of the costumes and the immersive scenography combine to make this work a true journey through cultures and imaginations. The musical score accompanies this voyage with a remarkable diversity of colours and influences.<\/p>\n

With this revival, B\u00e9jart Ballet Lausanne continues its commitment to preserving and transmitting Maurice B\u00e9jart<\/a>\u2019s choreographic legacy, while offering audiences the opportunity to rediscover one of the most significant works in his repertoire.<\/p>\n

La Route de la soie<\/em> is being performed at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Beaulieu until 14 June 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
