“Leonard Cohen’s art and soul shine on in this stirring tribute.”—Telegraph
Currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, Ballets Jazz Montréal is an internationally renowned repertory company that embodies excellence, innovation, and passion. The company’s highly acclaimed Dance Me was originally conceived to celebrate the city of Montréal’s 375th Anniversary and is “a feast for the eyes and a delight to listen” (Huffington Post).
Created from the timeless music and words of Leonard Cohen, the piece was approved by the Montréal-based poet, artist, and songwriter. The performance combines choreography, music, lighting, visual design, and videography in a riveting homage to the famed artist exploring “the grand cycles of existence” through Cohen’s beloved songs. These include “Hallelujah,” “Suzanne,” “First We Take Manhattan,” and “Everybody Knows.”
