Experience Béjart Ballet Lausanne
Béjart Ballet Lausanne (BBL), founded in 1984 by Maurice Béjart, carries forward the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most influential choreographers. Originally *Ballet du XXe siècle*, the company relocated to Lausanne, Switzerland, becoming BBL after Béjart’s vision for a permanent home. Gil Roman took over artistic direction following Béjart’s death in 2007, continuing to both preserve and evolve the repertoire.
BBL is renowned for its eclectic style – a powerful blend of classical ballet technique with modern dance, theatre, and often incorporates elements of rock and popular music. Béjart's signature works like *Boléro* (famously set to Ravel’s music) remain central, alongside pieces by Roman himself and guest choreographers. The company actively commissions new works, ensuring continued artistic innovation.
BBL performs extensively internationally, consistently receiving critical acclaim for its athleticism, dramatic intensity, and emotional depth. They are known for their commitment to accessibility, aiming to broaden audiences for contemporary dance.
