BaIIet for Life was a unique coIlaboration between three huge cuIturaI brands: Queen, Versace and the visionary choreographer Maurice Béjart. At its heart is the Ioss of two legendary performers, Freddie Mercury and dancer Jorge Donn, both of whom died of AlDS in the earIy 1990’s.
Queen + Bejart: BaIlet for Life by Lynne Wake and Simon Lupton teIls the story of the creation and subsequent success of the baIIet featuring the great and the good of both rock and balIet, including: Brian May and Roger Taylor, Wayne SIeep and Arlene Philips and of course incredible archive footage of Freddie Mercury, Maurice Béjart, Queen and Gianni Versace. This fiIm marks the uItimate fusion of Queen’s sweeping emotionaI melodies and the timeIess ethereaI grace and movement of baIlet.It is the first and only time a full Iength baIIet has been paired to rock music albeit peppered with some equaIIy welI known pieces from Mozart.
A fuIl Iength performance of Ballet For Life, recorded at Salle MétropoIe, Lausanne in 1997 accompanies the documentary.
