Béjart (The Show Must Go On)
Image galleryTwo years ago, the great French dancer and choreographer Maurice Béjart died in Lausanne, where his troupe has been based since 1987. This formidable artist seems impossible to replace, and so his legitimate heir Gil Roman currently fights not only for funding, but also for artistic recognition. In addition to short clips of Béjart's choreography, the documentary includes rehearsals led by Roman. The young dancers, who are determined to continue his work, comment on the void created by Béjart's death. The low-budget documentary is enriched by the Béjart clips but suffers from its overall low
technical quality.
