The choreographer Maurice Béjart (Marseille, 1927 – Lausanne, 2007) was one of the most brilliant artists of the 20th century. He revolutionized the art of dance and conquered tens of thousands of spectators throughout the world, many of them indifferent to ballet until then.

“In order to continue, preserve, possess its work and its ballets”, Béjart designated the French dancer Gil Roman, a member of his company since 1979, as the accomplice and living memory of his work. The new director of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne has to face the challenge of being on a par with the legacy he has received. Each one of his choices will be decisive for the future of the company. Each one of his steps counts and he knows it. He knows his hour has come.
