Gil Roman, director of Béjart Ballet Lausanne, is fired. The news fell on Friday in the middle of theLausanne Prize, an international competition for young dancers.

Gil Roman will leave his position on April 30, 2024. It is up to the foundation to find a successor. In the meantime, thanks to the structure put in place in 2022 and directed by Giancarlo Sergi, the production and presentation of the scheduled shows is ensured. The atmosphere was often tense in the studios.
