Published in 2005, this richly illustrated volume showcases the visionary choreography of Maurice Béjart. Over 150 pages of striking black‑and‑white and colour photographs capture the kinetic energy of his ballets, from soaring ensemble pieces to intimate duets. Accompanying essays place Béjart’s work in the broader context of modern dance, highlighting his innovative use of space, music, and theatricality. The book serves both as a visual celebration for dance enthusiasts and a reference for scholars interested in the evolution of contemporary ballet. Its high‑quality reproductions and thoughtful commentary make it a valuable addition to any collection of performing‑arts literature.
