Overview

The Firebird, choreographed by Maurice Béjart and performed by Béjart Ballet Lausanne, is a powerful reimagining of Igor Stravinsky’s iconic score. Combining explosive energy, striking theatricality, and Béjart’s distinctive contemporary style, the production transforms the legendary tale into a bold meditation on revolution, sacrifice, and rebirth.

The Firebird by Maurice Béjart is a visionary reinterpretation of one of the most influential works in ballet history. Set to the electrifying music of Igor Stravinsky, the production reflects Béjart’s signature approach to dance theatre—bold, symbolic, and emotionally charged.

Rather than retelling the traditional Russian fairy tale literally, Béjart transforms The Firebird into a modern allegory of struggle, liberation, and human transformation. Through powerful ensemble choreography and dramatic visual imagery, the ballet explores themes of collective energy, resistance, sacrifice, and hope.

Performed by the internationally renowned Béjart Ballet Lausanne, the work combines athletic physicality with theatrical intensity. The dancers move with both precision and raw emotional force, embodying the rhythmic vitality and explosive orchestral color of Stravinsky’s groundbreaking score.

Blending classical influence with contemporary expression, The Firebird remains one of Béjart’s most compelling creations—a visually and emotionally immersive ballet experience that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
