The official programme started with the ballet of the famous company Bejart Ballet Lausanne. Ballets “The Miraculous Mandarin”, “Etude for the Lady of the Camellias” and “Bakhti III” produced by Moris Bejart were presented in Russia for the first time. “Anima Blues” by Gil Roman was also a premiere in Russia. The show was given twice – on 20th and 21st of November 2016.
Moris Bejart prohibited free use of his original productions because only dancers who have worked with maestro in person can repeat his choreographic style. Since 2007, after Maestro went off, the company has been led by his disciple Gil Roman who cares about preservation of original Bejart’ heritage and produces his own ballets.
