Maurice Béjart, the French choreographer whose flamboyant and populist ballets made him the equivalent of a pop star in Europe, died in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was 80.
Béjart was born in Marseille, as Maurice Jean Berger. Physically frail as a child, the young Maurice Berger enrolled in ballet school at age 14 as therapy. He later left for Paris, taking on the name Béjart, the maiden name of the wife of the 17th-century French playwright Molière.
His large-scale works especially were greeted with almost hysterical enthusiasm in countries all around the world, although most critics in Britain and the United States received them with almost equal opprobrium, disliking their mixture of mysticism and popular culture.
Béjart received numerous awards and prizes during his life. They include the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun and the Belgian Ordre de la Couronne. He was appointed to the Académie des Beaux Arts in 1994.
