He's been called everything from an unrivaled choreographic genius to an egotistical slave-driver. He's been the mentor and creative inspiration of some, and a dream-breaker for others. Whatever impressions he has left on his students and dancers or the millions of spectators who have seen his work, it can't be denied that 78-year-old Marseille-born Maurice Béjart has certainly become a legend in his own time and a reference that aspiring dancers still look up to as they did to Rudolf Nureyev in the '70s, or Vaslav Nijinsky 100 years ago.
