The movement of happiness and sorrow in the work of Maurice Béjart
Lecture (in Heb.) by: Shani Tamari Matan
Concert performed by: Yaniv Levi singer, Avishag Rubin singer, Avner Sitruk electric guitar, Amit Shay bass, Elisabeth Gebremedihn piano, Yoav Tene drums
In the program: from the repertoire of Queen: Somebody to love, Love of my life, and more
Ballet for Life was a unique collaboration between three huge cultural brands: Queen, Versace and the visionary choreographer Maurice Béjart. At its heart is the loss of two legendary performers, Freddie Mercury and dancer Jorge Donn, both of whom died of AIDS in the early 1990’s.
This film tells the story of the creation and subsequent success of the ballet featuring the great and the good of both rock and ballet, including: Brian May, Roger Taylor, Adam Lambert, Wayne Sleep, Arlene Philips and of course incredible archive footage of Freddie Mercury, Maurice Béjart, Queen and Gianni Versace. This film marks the ultimate fusion of Queen’s sweeping emotional melodies and the timeless ethereal grace and movement of ballet. It is the first and only time a full-length ballet has been paired to rock music albeit peppered with some equally well-known pieces from Mozart.
