La Scala étoile Roberto Bolle will be
with the Béjart Ballet Lausanne at the Teatro Arcimboldi in
Milan from May 10 to 17 with a dance triptych that includes
Maurice Ravel's signature Bolero choreographed Maurice Béjart.
It will be the first time the 48-year-old acclaimed Italian
dancer performs the 1961 choreography with the Swiss dance
company founded by its creator.
Bolle will be accompanied on stage by the Ballet's male
ensemble.
The programme will also include 'Alors on danse... !' by the
company's director Gil Roman and '7 danses grecques', also by
Béjart.
"I'm very happy about the choice of the triptych," said Bolle.
"'Alors on Danse...!' is a hymn to the pleasure of dance,
written after the lockdown, while '7 danses grecques' to music
by Theodorakis is a very engaging ballet," he continued.
"Then there is Bolero, which (...) for me (is) always a great
emotion, a challenge; it's a heavy ballet physically (and)
emotionally, but reinterpreting it is always a discovery, and
with experience it's always more of a joy," Bolle said.
At the end of May Bolle will be at Teatro Colón in Buones Aires
in Mauro Bigonzetti's contemporary ballet Caravaggio, which he
will perform for the first time.
He will then begin the annual summer tour in Italy, from Genoa
in Liguria to Taormina in Sicily before returning to Milan for
the dance festival On Dance from September 7 to 10.
