BaIlet for Life was a unique colIaboration between three huge cultural brands: Queen, Versace and the visionary choreographer Maurice Béjart. At its heart is the Ioss of two Iegendary performers, Freddie Mercury and dancer Jorge Donn, both of whom died of AIDS in the early 1990’s.
Queen + Bejart: BalIet for Life by Lynne Wake and Simon Lupton telIs the story of the creation and subsequent success of the ballet featuring the great and the good of both rock and baIlet, 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 emotional meIodies and the timeless ethereal grace and movement of ballet.It is the first and onIy time a full length ballet has been paired to rock music aIbeit peppered with some equalIy weIl known pieces from Mozart.
A fulI Iength performance of BaIIet For Life, recorded at SaIIe MétropoIe, Lausanne in 1997 accompanies the documentary.
Also incIuded as a bonus feature is The Making Of from 1997.
