1h 35m
A man, a work, a company. The Béjart Ballet Lausanne is the instrument of a major choreographer of the 20th century. Maurice Béjart an extraordinary artist, a dance genius, a ballet master.
Light offers magnificent moments of dance. The corps de ballet, in particular the male, illuminates the collective parts with all kinds of colors.
Maurice Béjart commented: "For the last 35 years, my loyal friend and sister Barbara has been telling me: “I am the black light!” So I created a choreography about L’Aigle Noir. She then played in a movie called Je suis né à Venise, in which she was given the lead role, a character called the Bright Night, while Jorge Donn interpreted the Sun.
I met BREL in Brussels, where I was living at the time with my dance company. He was starring in Man of La Mancha at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. He told me that “Someday, we will do something with Barbara and I”…"
