House of Maurice Béjart

Almost for 30 years Maurice Béjart, one of Belgium's most celebrated choreographers, lived in this house, where there's a great deal to discover about him thanks to a lot of documents. Maurice Béjart lived in Brussels for nearly 30 years. The permanent exhibition entitled 'Béjart Parcours Libre' gives visitors the opportunity to discover this significant place where the choreographer lived, as well as a selection of archive pieces documenting his ballets (programmes, posters, manuscripts, original drawings, photographs, videos etc.). "When Maurice Huisman, the new director of Théatre de la Monnaie, called me in 1959 to put on Le Sacre du Printemps, I didn’t think that this was going to be the beginning of a long life in Brussels. Almost 30 years! It is in Brussels that most of my choreographic creations were achieved.” Maurice Béjart
