The time for a dance - Jaquet Droz
Over two and a half centuries after the son of Pierre Jaquet-Droz was given an audience with King Louis XVI of France to demonstrate his automata, Jaquet Droz pays tribute to the meeting with a performance in Versailles by the Béjart Ballet Lausanne under the direction of Gil Roman.

Jaquet Droz became the Presenting Partner of the Béjart Ballet Lausanne in 2013, through which the brand showcases the art of movement that commemorates the skills of its founder, whose clocks, musical watches and humanoid automata fascinated the royal courts of Europe.

 The same fascination is true of the illustrious Maurice Béjart Ballet Lausanne, whose performances such as the Sacre du printemps (1959), Symphonie pour un homme seul, l’Oiseau de feu,... to this day captivate audiences around the world. The artistry of both worlds can be encapsulated in the expression the Art of Astonishment.
