The Palais des sports welcomes the tribute tour to Maurice Béjart
Is the Sports Palace from Paris that the troupe Béjart Ballet Lausanne continues its tour initiated by the French choreographer Maurice Béjart, died on November 22, 2007.
The Palace proposes a special evening Igor Stravinsky with the creation Igor & Us, Fire Bird and The Rite of Spring.
Resolutely focused on contemporary and innovative creation, Maurice Béjart has given the majority of his choreographies to the works of the 19th century Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. The troupe will perform on the Paris stage until February 10, 2008, offering two major shows.
The Stravinsky Evening will honor the indirect relations between the composer and the choreographer, complemented by lively and offbeat rhythms that have created controversy in the creation of their works. These two characters will be represented by The Bird of Fire, which features the immortal Phoenix who is reborn from the ashes.
His iconic work The Rite of Spring will complete the special evening. A ballet devoid of all artifices that depicts contrasts man and woman or death and life.
The troupe, now headed by the so-called "legitimate" heir of Maurice Béjart, Gil Roman, will stay in Paris until February 10, closing this passage with Around the world in 80 minutes, to quote a tour became a tribute.
