This is price of success. According to his international vocation, the BBL travels the world… Without stopping, the master creates monumental pictures, from the Ring um den Ring according to Wagner in 1990, to Around the world in 80 minutes, his last choreography...
On November 22nd 2007, Maurice Béjart dies. Gil Roman brilliantly takes over. On the occasion of the December 2008 parties, he performed a cover of Around the world…, as well as two of his own works: Aria,and Le Casino des esprits. He also played two duets: Fauves by Jean-Christophe Maillot with Bernice Coppieters as partner, and The Place by Mats Ek, in which Mikhaïl Baryshnikov faces Ana Laguna. This definitely is a turning point! The 39 BBL’s dancers, originating from 15 different countries, are acclaimed around the world with over a hundred performances each year.
