Gil Roman unveils his new creation t'M et variations..., a ballet where the movements become words addressed to Maurice. Page after page, in the form of a journal, intimate relationship, the choreographer proposes a series of variations of the theme of Love and the inner necessity of Dance. Fifty minutes - a novel - of pure dance, shock and encounter of beings, friendship and love that bind them. And connect us. Against all odds. Against all, sometimes. Life, always! A radically fascinating choreography, tale of an unveiling, chronicle of a celebration day.
"t 'M et variations... is Maurice's heritage that I see it, and as it continues to live thanks to this organism that is a company." Gil Roman

"I reunited extracts from Maurice's choreographies as one suite, just like preparing a festival. Or as if you compose a chanson recital, a festive spectacle or a light encounter." Gil Roman
Béjart fête Maurice is a tribute to Maurice Béjart through a ballet composed of extracts from his choreographies. A series of pas de deux interlaced with extracts from several ballets, it is a light rhapsody, a celebration and a celebration. Pas de deux bare feet, duets en pointe, eloquent characters, mythical or unknown extracts, all tell an era, an artist, Maurice Béjart. It is a spectacle for the pure pleasure of dancing.
