      abstract = {"The choreographer Maurice Bejart was one of the most  brilliant artists of the 20th century. He revolutionized  the art of dance and excited thousands of spectators  throughout the world, many of them indifferent to ballet  until then. In order to continue and preserve his work and  ballets, Bejart named the French dancer Gil Roman, a member  of his company since 1979, as his successor. Roman is well  aware of the dauntingly large shoes he's expected to fill.  In this film, we see how Roman's own choreography, as well  as leadership, must prove worthy to secure the future of a  befoved institution hitherto unimaginable without its  founder's active guidance. Daringly, Roman chooses to prove  his mettle by staging BBL's first-ever program without any  Bejart works. We glimpse rehearsals, and dancers past and  present are interviewed. Excerpts of the new dances, look  exciting, as does the climactic gala. Bejart himself is  heard on archival tape and seen in stills, but the focus  here is on the present magnificent company"--Original  container.},
