Hamlet, Béjart et nous and Boléro at the Musical Theater in Basel

The Béjart Ballet Lausanne will perform from February 28 to March 2nd at the Musical Theater in Basel. The company will present Hamlet by Valentina Turcu, Béjart et nous and Boléro by Maurice Béjart.

As the opening of the evening, Hamlet by the Slovenian choreographer Valentina Turcu, invited to create this ballet for the company in June 2024. This revival of Shakespeare’s theatrical masterpiece explores human madness and passion. In the words of the guest choreographer: “Hamlet explores the margins and depths of the human soul. It opens doors to the hearts of men and women with an invisible key: dance, a universal language.”

For the second part, the company invites you on a dizzying journey through the danced (and musical) repertoire of Maurice Béjart: Béjart et nous. An artistic proposal sensitively crafted by Julien Favreau, an immersion into the eclectic and abundant work of the Master, performed by the dancers of his company today.

The evening concludes with Boléro, a ballet created in 1961 on the captivating score by Maurice Ravel. The central role – the Melody – is alternately entrusted to a dancer or a dancer, while the Rhythm is carried by a group of dancers.
