After further discussions between Japan Performing Arts Foundation and the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, there have been a change and an update in the programs of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne's Japan tour. Ballet for Life choreographed by Maurice Béjart to the music of the British band Queen and Mozart will now be presented on 21, 22 and 23 September at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan replacing Wien, Wien, nur du Allein. We apologize to our valued audiences who have been anticipating the originally scheduled program but appreciate everyone's kind understanding. At the same time, we hope you will enjoy the evergreen masterpiece, Ballet for Life. The ballet will also be performed at Hyogo Performing Arts Center (Nishinomiya, Hyogo) on 2 October and Sapporo Cultural Arts Theater hitaru (Sapporo, Hokkaido) on 6 October.

We are delighted to announce the mixed program with four beautiful works to be performed at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan: Alors on danse... !, Adage pour deux, Concerto en ré, and Boléro.
