“You told us to make love, not war. We made love. Why is love waging war on us?”

A cry from the youth, for whom the problem of death by love is added to the multiple wars that have never ceased in the world since the so-called END of the last World War!

Above all, my ballets are encounters with music, with life, with death, with love… with all those, whose life and works find a renewal within me. Moreover, the dancer who I am no longer is reincarnated each time by the dancers who surpass this former self.

A love affair with the music by Queen. Invention, violence, humour, love… it’s all there. I love the group. They inspire me and guide me, sometimes through this no man’s land where we will all go one day and where, I am sure, Freddie Mercury is playing a duet on the piano with Mozart.

A ballet about youth and hope, as hopeless and optimistic as they are. Despite everything, I believe that “the show must go on”, as Queen would say.

Maurice Béjart
