1991. Fine. s. d. ca 1991 21 x 29.70 cm 10 feuillets Handwritten manuscript signed by the choreographer Maurice Béjart. 10 leaves written in blue pen. Handwritten pagination. Maurice Béjart's handwritten proofs for his book Béjart-theâtre: A-6-Roc éditions Plume 1992 about his play A-6-Roc first performed in the same year at the Vidy theatre in Lausanne. After the foundation of Béjart Ballet Lausanne and his definitive departure from Belgium in 1987 Béjart continues to stage operas produce films and publish several books novel memories personal diary. In addition he wrote and directed his third play A-6-Roc performed in Lausanne in 1992 which he published with commentaries in a book entitled Béjart-theâtre: A-6-Roc. The play features seven characters in search of a lost paradise and calls for a deep reflection on the choreographer's memory and childhood. Béjart takes the leading role and gives the lines to Gil Roman his favourite dancer during the period in Lausanne who will succeed him as the head of his company in 2007. A-6-Roc was probably Béjart's favourite play and it will be the only one that he will agree to publish. Largely inspired by Jean Anouilh's theatre and even more so by that of Eugène Ionesco the play makes use of his childhood in the South of France. This manuscript which provides valuable information on the staging and scenery was published with the original play in 1992. The present the past and the future come together in this play through three characters a patriarchal figure played by Béjart himself another embodying youth played by Gil Roman 6 must be at least twice the age of Mr A. This generational difference creates their tension and also their bond. and a clown called Roc played by the actor Phillipe Olza. The influence of the theatre of the absurd is easily detected here as much in the scenery choices as in the psychology of the characters: the play's first scene that can last from 3 to 6 or 7 minutes is nothing but mechanical movement of the body . conjuring up the useless and empty activity of the world of concentration camps. The playwright Béjart nevertheless remains faithful to the spectacle total idea for which he was well known as a choreographer. The play is inundated with dance and movement particularly in the theatre choir four characters I should say since nothing pleases me less than the uniformity of the Greek pseudo-choirs and other aestheticizing corps de ballet and Béjart devotes the last four leaves to the music it plays right through the play like dolphins following a boat ranging from Nino Rota to the syrupy music of Jackie Gleason. Beyond the theatre Béjart wanted with A-6-ROC to create a complete work of art including all performance genres and in this manuscript he demonstrates his talent as a playwright and a producer. Invaluable manuscript on the last play that Béjart wrote produced and performed. It features amongst the choreographer's very rare privately owned documents his archives being shared between his house in Brussels the Béjart foundation in Lausanne and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. Provenance: Maurice Béjart's personal archives. unknown
1991. Fine. Let us never forget the glory of human nature. We are the greatest Gods Christs and Buddhas are but waves on the boundless ocean that I am s. d. ca 1991 21 x 29.70 cm 9 feuillets Handwritten manuscript signed by the choreographer Maurice Béjart sent to his publisher with a handwritten letter on two leaves. 9 leaves 145 lines written in blue pen. Hand-pagination of the manuscript 1-7 and the letter to his publisher a-b. Maurice Béjart's handwritten reflections entitled Mémoire Memoirs make up the last chapter of his work Béjart-theâtre: A-6-ROC Editions Plume 1992 regarding his eponymous play that was created the same year in Lausanne. After the foundation of Béjart Ballet Lausanne and his definitive departure from Belgium in 1987 Béjart continues to stage operas produce films and publish several books novel memories personal diary. In addition he writes and stages three plays: La Reine Verte Casta Diva and finally A-6-ROC to which dedicates a book. The play features seven characters in search of a lost paradise and calls for a deep reflection on memory . The last chapter of his book on A-6-ROC the manuscript of which we have here is a mixture of philosophical thought and commentaries on the play: The first idea for the scenery for A-6-Roc was an enormous library . where the two characters in a drama called life no-longer know if the words they say are theirs or those of the generations who preceded them in this prison of knowledge. Implicitly the author-choreographer maintains that the memory although salutary for Man harms the creative faculties. A series of questions on Me where one can detect Montaigne's influence follows: I am a series of moments of looks of emotions of expectations. I am the fruit that I eat the air that I breath the cat that I stroke the book that I read the look that I remember. Provenance: Maurice Béjarts personal archives. unknown
