Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent by Gil Roman and 7 danses grecques by Maurice Béjart at Théâtre de Beausobre in Morges

The Béjart Ballet Lausanne will be on November 18-19, 2022, at the Théâtre de Beausobre in Morges. The company will be performing Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent by Gil Roman and 7 danses grecques by Maurice Béjart.

Tous les hommes presque toujours s’imaginent, a title borrowed from the Swiss writer Ludwig Hohl, is entirely choreographed to the music of John Zorn, one of the leading composers of contemporary American music. The density and diversity of his extraordinary work, which began in the mid-1970s, as well as the audacity and artistic freedom he expressed through his craft, never ceased to challenge and fascinate the artistic director of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne. Facing a considerable body of work, Gil Roman immerses himself in the various compositions making up the universe that the brilliant multi-instrumentalist has explored from 1990 to 2017… Step by step, with a movement, a gesture, Gil Roman brings his dancers beyond the walls…

The evening program ends with 7 danses grecques by Maurice Béjart, is based on the music of Mikis Theodorakis. “This is a ballet in which Greece – according to the Greeks – is very much present despite borrowing little from its folklore,” explained the creator of the BBL.
