Pierre KLOSSOWSKI (Maurice BEJART) Lettre autographe signée au chorégraphe Maurice Béjart

Pierre KLOSSOWSKI (Maurice BEJART)

Lettre autographe signée au chorégraphe Maurice Béjart

Paris 4 mars 1991, 21x29,7cm, une feuille.


Handwritten letter signed by the writer Pierre Klossowski addressed to Maurice Béjart, dated 4 March 1991.
29 lines written in black ink on one leaf. 
Just like a poem, this beautiful and passionate letter was written in a long column of text. Klossowski congratulates the choreographer on his autobiography Mort subite published the same year and is amazed that Béjart's literary tastes are so similar to his own. 
In the letter, Pierre Klossowski highlights the affinities that link him to Béjart. He devotes a long passage to Mort subite, Béjart's last book about his famous father, the philosopher Gaston Berger: "La miraculeuse Anwesenheit  [présence] d'un tel père suscitée par un tel fils ! A vous lire, je ressens cette célébration dans sa piété filiale toute de joyeuse certitude, à la cadence goethéenne du Roi des Aulnes [...]” “The miraculous Anwesenheit [presence] of such a father sparked off by such a son! To read you, I feel this celebration in his filial piety, all of joyful certainty, to the same rhythm as Goethe's The Erlking [...]”  He brings up their shared passion for the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, before mentioning an old collaborative project: "Je n'oublie guère votre visite [...] ni votre idée d'un ballet autour d'un Baphomet invisible...” “I hardly forget your visit [...] nor your idea of a ballet based on Baphomet invisible....” Several years earlier, the Baphomet had already been the object of an abandoned theatre project with the Biennale de Venise. The letter finishes with an allusion to Klossowski's “travail pictural exclusif” “exclusive pictorial work”: his huge production of drawings that kept him busy until the end of his life.

A letter of admiration by Pierre Klossowski concerning Béjart's writing talent and his literary influences.
Provenance: Maurice Béjart's personal archives.
