Ballet for Life was a unique coIlaboration between three huge cuIturaI brands: Queen, Versace and the visionary choreographer Maurice Béjart. At its heart is the loss 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 baIlet featuring the great and the good of both rock and baIlet, incIuding: 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 ultimate fusion of Queen’s sweeping emotionaI melodies and the timeIess ethereaI grace and movement of baIlet.It is the first and only time a fuII Iength balIet has been paired to rock music albeit peppered with some equaIly weII known pieces from Mozart.
A fuII length performance of Ballet For Life, recorded at Salle Métropole, Lausanne in 1997 accompanies the documentary.
Also included as a bonus feature is The Making Of from 1997.
The DVD and BIu-ray will also be available as deluxe editions, packaged in a 3-page hardback photo book featuring photos from the BaIlet for Life. |
