Rudolf Nureyev & Paolo Bortoluzzi- Le Sacre du Printemps– Béjart Ballet (Black & White, Kayaert)

A powerful black-and-white photograph capturing a rare duet by Rudolf Nureyev and Paolo Bortoluzzi in Le Sacre du Printemps, a ballet by Maurice Béjart.

Taken by Belgian photographer Robert Kayaert, this image reflects the intense emotional and physical dialogue characteristic of Béjart’s choreography, magnified by the presence of Nureyev at the height of his artistic force. The stark contrast and stage lighting emphasize movement, expression, and the dramatic tension between the two dancers.

This photograph is part of the Histoires d’images archive and is intended for collectors, dance historians, researchers, and lovers of 20th-century ballet photography.
