Maurice BEJART Manuscrit autographe à propos de la mémoire et de sa pièce "A-6-Roc"

Maurice BEJART

Manuscrit autographe à propos de la mémoire et de sa pièce "A-6-Roc"

s.d. [ca 1991], 21x29,7cm, 9 feuillets.


Handwritten manuscript regarding the memory and his play A-6 ROC
 
N. d. [ca. 1991], 21 x 29,7 cm, 9 leaves
 

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.
